MED04 Biometrics on the Eye Model

Biometrics on the Eye Model Measurement of sound travel times on an eye model as a typical biometric ultrasound application The measurement of sound travel times on an eye model on an enlarged scale provides a typical biometric ultrasound application based on the A-image method (A-scan) in medical diagnostics in ophthalmology.

Here, ultrasound is particularly important for the biometric recording of the eye, i.e. the measurement of distances in the eye. For example, the distance between the cornea and the iris is very important for calculating the properties of an artificial lens, such as that implanted in patients with cataracts. Since the cornea or the lens are too cloudy for optical methods, the use of ultrasound metho
