Examination and measurements of the canine lens with B-mode ultrasound

This article is enlightening questions about correlations between the diameter of the lens, the axial global length and the body size of dogs. Larger dogs have larger anatomically structures than smaller dogs, and the hypothesis in this article was that this was true for the ocular structures as well. By accurate determination of the canine lens sizes, the success rate of IOL replacement surgeries may be greatly improved. Determination of the IOL implants must be done with great care and accuracy. By easy being able to predict the size of the lens in the patients is beneficial for the further determination of the IOL implants
