Abstract: A device for determining biometric variables of the eye, as are incorporated in the calculation of intraocular lenses including a multi-point keratometer and an OCT arrangement. The keratometer measurement points are illuminated telecentrically and detected telecentrically and the OCT arrangement is designed as a laterally scanning swept-source system with a detection region detecting the whole eye over the whole axial length thereof. Illumination points are arranged in three rings concentrically around an instrument axis; and the three rings include a first ring, a second ring and a third ring and the illumination points on the first ring and the third ring are rotated in relation to the illumination points on the second ring such that each of the illumination points on the first ring is on a common radial with one of the illumination points on the third ring and each of the illumination points on the second ring is not on the common radial.

Abstract: A device for determining biometric variables of the eye, as are incorporated in the calculation of intraocular lenses including a multi-point keratometer and an OCT arrangement. The keratometer measurement points are illuminated telecentrically and detected telecentrically and the OCT arrangement is designed as a laterally scanning swept-source system with a detection region detecting the whole eye over the whole axial length thereof. The multi-point keratometer ensures that a sufficient number of keratometer points are available for measuring the corneal surface. By contrast, telecentricity ensures that the positioning inadequacies of the measuring instrument in relation to the eye to be measured do not lead to a local mismatch of the reflection points. The swept-source OCT scan detects the whole eye over the length thereof so that both anterior chamber structures and retina structures can be detected and a consistent whole eye image can be realized.

The ciliary body implant and the intraocular lens are formed separately from each other and the intraocular system is configured to control a refractive effect of the intraocular lens that is dependent on the ciliary signal received from the sensor element.
