4.2 How to calculate axial length using the biometry function
4.2.1 Phakic eye
The axial length measurement is obtained using the following formulae.
[When using the average acoustic velocity]
L : Axial length measurement
V : Average acoustic velocity for axial length
t : Measurement time
[When using the divisional acoustic velocity]
L : Axial length measurement
: Anterior chamber depth acoustic velocity
: Crystal lens acoustic velocity
: Vitreous acoustic velocity
: Time for measuring anterior chamber
death
: Time for measuring crystal lens
: Time for measuring a vitreous
