    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of ocular biometrics is crucial for refractive error correction.
    • Existing methods for measuring axial length and anterior chamber depth can be complex or prone to error.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a simple, pocket-sized instrument for measuring axial length and anterior chamber depth.
    • To assess the accuracy and interpretability of the digital output for clinical application.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel, portable instrument.
    • Utilized digital output for ease of interpretation.
    • Long-term accuracy assessment was performed.

    Main Results:

    • The developed instrument is pocket-sized and features an easy-to-interpret digital output.
    • Demonstrated a long-term accuracy of 0.2 mm.
    • The instrument's precision is suitable for reducing errors in intraocular lens selection.

    Conclusions:

    • A simple, accurate, and portable instrument for measuring axial length and anterior chamber depth has been successfully developed.
    • This device has the potential to improve the accuracy of refractive surgery outcomes by minimizing lens selection errors.
