ZEISS Optical Biometers
Defining biometry for more than 25 years
More than 25 years ago, ZEISS introduced the first optical biometer and revolutionized IOL power calculations. Since then IOLMaster® biometers from ZEISS have become the most commonly used biometers in the ophthalmic world with more than 150 million IOL power calculations to date.
