First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new device called EYESTAR 900 that uses light to measure the eye's shape and size. Researchers compared its accuracy to existing devices in 55 volunteers, including people with normal eyes and those needing cataract surgery. The goal was to see if the new device gives reliable measurements for planning eye surgeries.
