to hear from John Greenwood, Ophthalmologist, about the Biometry Equipment for Advanced Cataract Surgery and how it will benefit the patients of Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital.
This new equipment will allow every patient having cataract surgery to be measured with the most
modern and technologically advanced equipment available. All patients having cataract surgery at
Basingstoke Hospital will benefit from this technology. Not only will the patient experience vastly
improve but there will also be a significant increase in the number of patients who can be treated as
the measurements can be completed in only a few seconds as opposed to the 10-15 minutes taken
with the current equipment.
for Basingstoke & North Hampshire Hospital
“This equipment demonstrates a step change in biometric capability using new technology to quantify axial length, with improved accuracy. This delivers the capability to measure even the most dense cataract which has previously not been possible.
As a result of the step change in accuracy, many fewer patients will require glasses postoperatively than would have been the case with current equipment”
