A-Scan Eye Test
The A-Scan test is an important diagnostic test used to measure the length of the eye. It helps eye specialists plan treatments, especially before cataract surgery or to detect eye-related problems.

What is an A-Scan Test?
An A-Scan test, also known as A-Scan biometry, uses ultrasound to measure the eye's axial length (the front to back size of the eye). These measurements are important when choosing the right power of intraocular lens (IOL) for cataract surgery. It also helps in detecting conditions like high myopia and other eye disorders.
When is an A-Scan Test Required?
Your eye doctor may suggest an A-Scan test in the following cases:
1]Before cataract surgery
2]If you have very high or low eye power
3]To monitor changes in eye structure
4]For some eye diseases that affect eye shape
This test is quick, painless, and safe for all age groups.
How is the A-Scan Test Done?
The A-Scan test is performed using an ultrasound probe. There are two methods:
1]Contact Method: The probe touches the front of the eye with numbing drops.
2]Immersion Method: The eye is not touched directly. This method provides more accurate results.At Dr. Sandip Eye Clinic, we use both methods based on patient comfort and need.
