Intended use
The LS 900 is a non-invasive, non-contact OLCR (optical low-coherence reectom‑
etry) biometer used for obtaining ocular measurements and performing calculations
to assist in the determination of the appropriate power and type of IOL (intraocular
lens) for implantation after removal of the natural crystalline lens. The LS 900 mea‑
sures:
• Axial eye length
• Corneal thickness
• Anterior chamber depth
• Aqueous depth
• Lens thickness
• Corneal curvature
• Radii for at and steep meridian
• Axis of the at meridian
• White‑to‑white distance
• Pupil diameter
