Amplitude scan or A-scan is a diagnostic procedure used to determine the internal characteristics of the eyes. The method uses an ultrasound system to generate eye measurements. After getting the measurements from the A-scan, a number of procedures can be conducted with precision. Cataract surgery planning and IOL power calculation are done with the help of axial measurements. Also, various eye defects can be detected and evaluated with the parameters obtained through A-scan. Measuring the eyes’ different characteristics due to comfort, precision, and accuracy has become increasingly popular.
A-scan is conducted using an ultrasound system to measure the parameters of the internal structure of the eyes. The measurements obtained are beneficial for treating various eye-related procedures.
A-scan is not a painful process. It is a non-surgical process; hence, patients don’t feel any discomfort or pain during the process.
The A-scan procedure helps ophthalmologists get details of various characteristics of the eyes. With the details obtained, the ophthalmologist can make post-operative planning to ensure optimum outcomes.
