title: Clinical evaluation of an inexpensive ultrasound oculometer for ocular biometry.
abstract: We measured anterior chamber depth and axial length in 200 human eyes with the Echo-Oculometer and the Digital Biometric Ruler. There was good agreement between measurements with the two instruments. The echo-Oculometer is much less expensive than any other instrument available for measuring ocular axial length and satisfactorily provides information for calculation of power of intraocular lenses.
