In cases of impossibility or inaccessibility of optical biometry, measurements taken with an A-scan device set at 1000 m/s are sufficient. The true AL of an eye with silicone oil tamponade falls somewhere between the values obtained with 1000 m/s ultrasound and IOL Master in the 'silicone-filled eye' mode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
