Abstract
Since 1978 more than 10.000 patients in the Bonn university eye clinic have been measured by means of computerized biometry with ultrasound for the purpose of determining an individual intraocular implant lens (Lepper et al., 1980). In 1981 (Lepper & Trier, 1984a) we developed an improved computerized biometric system (BMS 811 ECHOCOMP, now GBS, Grieshaber). These systems can be described by the word RESSOURCE (which means: ‘RE’al time ‘S’imultaneous ‘S’egmental ‘O’culometry by ‘U’ltrasound with data ‘R’ecording and ‘C’omputerized ‘E’valuation). The system consists of: a personal computer, ultrasonic transceiver, 4 electronic clocks, and an evaluation logic (Fig. 1).
