Ophthalmology · Ophthalmic Imaging and Investigations (OCT, FFA, B-scan, Perimetry, Biometry, Topography)

The IOLMaster (partial coherence interferometry) measures all of the following parameters for biometry EXCEPT:

  • A Axial length
  • B Lens thickness
  • C Corneal curvature (keratometry)
  • D Anterior chamber depth
Correct answer: B. Lens thickness

Explanation

The IOLMaster measures axial length, anterior chamber depth, and corneal curvature. It does not directly measure lens thickness as a standard biometry parameter for IOL calculation. Lens thickness is measured on A-scan or swept-source OCT devices but is not a routine IOLMaster output for standard power formulas.
