RESUMO

In this work we have developed a new method for biometric analysis of the eye. This analysis consists of measurements of biomechanical parameters, like thickness of the cornea, distance between the cornea and the crystalline lens, thickness of the crystalline lens and distance between the crystalline lens and the retina. In this new method we use the interferometric principle with a low coherence laser. The knowledge of these parameters is very important in order to supply the necessary data for the implant of intraocular lenes, in the cases of cataract. Besides of allow the diagnosis of the pathologies, which are characterized by their changes. The instrument used in the measurements is an ultrasonic biometer. However the resolution of this instrument is limited by the ocular tissue, which does not allow satisfactory echos in frequencies above 10 MHz. A variety of the techniques have been used in the last ten years in the order to establish a more accurate method. However most of the existing alternatives have been rejected due to operational complexity and high cost. The interferometric technique unites high resolution, operational simplicity and low cost. This can be concluded by the results obtained in this work, which demonstrate the great potentiality of the method for future in academic research or clinical diagnosis.
