Rev. 23 of 08/07/2016 13.12 IOL CALCULATION ALADDIN also includes a section for calculation of the intraocular lenses (IOL Calculation). In order to perform the intraocular lens power calculation, the available power interval, the increments and the calculation constants must be provided for each type of formula and lens. These, however, do not depend solely on the type of lens and the calculation formula, but are also closely linked to the measuring technology and the surgical techniques used.
From the “Source” field (present in both the Biometry and Keratometry sections, Figure 46), you can choose to use the measurements of the “Aladdin” instrument as source, or to enter them manually by pressing the “Manual” button.
