SOCT User Manual Version 10.0 rev. A
Editing IOL data
The IOL data section to the right of the lenses tree allows the user to optimize or personalize IOL
data.
The manufacturer and model of the lens can be entered
manually in their respective fields at the top of the section.
This triggers the auto-suggest function to speed up the IOL
selection process.
Revision shown drop-down menu allows the user to choose
the revision of IOL data they wish to use for calculation.
A new revision is created whenever the user introduces
changes to the data and saves them by clicking [Save] at the bottom of the window. Consecutive
IOL revisions are indicated by a number next to the date. By default, the system uses the latest
revision of data.
WARNING The user is fully responsible for all data entered or changed manually.
The Constants source field shows the source of the constants. The user can set the constant source
displayed as the default source by clicking [Set as
default].
CAUTION Calculation constants do not depend solely on the IOL type and calculation
formula used. They can also be influenced by factors such as measurement technology and
surgical technique which is why the user is strongly advised to optimize the constants for
their particular circumstances, case and practice.
To calculate the constants based on the a-constant of manufacturer enter the
A-constant value in the A-const field and click [Calculate constants].
CAUTION Remember that the A-constant is an estimate and should only be used for
reference if no better constants are available. Use only IOL constants optimized for optical
biometers.
CAUTION The software for taking measurements and performing calculations must be
operated only be appropriately trained and experienced staff with knowledge suitable for
interpreting the results. All members of the stuff must read this user manual thoroughly,
paying special attention to the safety related points and instructions.
