ZEISS Optical Biometers

Defining biometry for 20 years

20 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.

Optical biometers from ZEISS for all your needs

ZEISS IOLMaster 700

Featuring Total Keratometry (TK®), this SWEPT Source OCT optical biometer is made for cataract surgeons implanting toric or multifocal IOLs that require superior measurements.

ZEISS IOLMaster 500

The continually refined gold standard in optical biometry is designed for cataract surgeons looking for a fast, reliable and easy-to-use optical biometer with a great price-to-value ratio.
