Competency information
Details
Measure the axial length of the eye with low-coherence interferometry A- and B-scan modalities, to include:
- patients with significant ocular pathology
- previous corneal refractive surgery
Considerations
- Technique of A- and B-scan biometry and low-coherence interferometry
- How to differentiate which test modality should be used to produce an accurate measurement for a particular type of pathology
- The range of measurements and sequencing
- How to measure refraction and the optical prescription in glasses and contact lenses
- How to measure the dimensions of the eye with low-coherence interferometry
