A Scan biometry is a test by which we can find out the length of an eye ball. This test is primarily used in calculating the power of Intra ocular lens or IOL.This is a lens that is implanted inside the eye after cataract surgery by the surgeons. The readings of A Scan and Keratometry are used to calculate the IOL power. This test has become even more important after ideal Myopia control protocols were developed.
What is this?
Why is it important?
Who needs it?
How is it controlled?
Its a painless and a quick test that is done after instilling eye drops to numb the front part of the eye. Ultrasonic probe throws the rays inside the eye ball.
These rays bounce off the retina and are measured back. Thus the axial length is calculated. 8 readings are taken to get the best average.
If the readings are below 26 mm, it a reason to be happy about. This reduces the probability of Myopia related complications in future. Also keep repeating the test to ensure that the readings do not increase faster than the normal values. If they are, then Myopia control programme has to be initiated immediately.
> Takes just 2 minutes to do the painless test
> Average of 8 readings get the best value
> Test for both eyes should be done
> Use these core principles along with tool computer aided design
> All children having minus power should get the test done
Finally we have some values to predict when and how to intervene for Myopia control. We wish to use this test for all Myopic kids to ensure that their future is as bright and colourful forever.

Our Story
Few years into the profession we realised that a speciality Vision care Clinic is not available to serve the needs of people with vision related problems.
Among the many eye clinics, rarely anyone dealt with Vision issues the way it should be done.
Saoji Contact lens clinic (Sitabuldi) was serving the people of Nagpur
since 1969, but scope of practice was limited to Contact lenses.
In 2000 we started Saoji Vision care, an Optometry clinic having all faculties of Optometry like Speciality Contact lenses, Binocular Vision clinic and therapy, Customised artificial eyes, Scientific spectacle dispensing.
At SVC as we all lovingly call the clinic, we believe in giving the most apt Vision care solutions to all our patients.
