A-Scan Ultrasonography In Optometry.

Because of the current primary care scope of practice for Optometry, pre-operative cataract workups (including axial length measurement and intraocular lens calculation) , can be performed by Optometrists to fully meet the needs of their patients prior to surgery. Twenty pre-operative workups of this type were performed and the
results will be included in this report, as well as an estimate of the financial benefits that can be expected from this type of care. AScan information will also be included as a means of providing a base line of information needed to perform A-Scan measurements and IOL calculations.
