    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of ocular structures is vital for successful intraocular lens implantation.
    • The anterior chamber's dimensions are critical parameters influencing lens selection and placement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a novel method for precise anterior chamber width measurement.
    • To establish the reliability of an imprinted suture for pre-operative anterior chamber assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing an imprinted suture to obtain anterior chamber width measurements.
    • Performing measurements prior to the implantation of anterior chamber lenses.

    Main Results:

    • The imprinted suture allows for accurate determination of the anterior chamber width.
    • This measurement technique is effective in the pre-operative setting.

    Conclusions:

    • An imprinted suture is a dependable tool for measuring anterior chamber width.
    • Accurate pre-operative measurements enhance the safety and efficacy of anterior chamber lens surgery.
