Description
TRUSTED COMPANION FOR
YOUR CATARACT PRACTICE
The EchoRule is a widely used & popular equipment amongst the Indian Ophthalmologists. Since the mid-nineties of the last century the EchoRule has assisted in millions of IOL calculations for Indian cataract patients. The EchoRule has undergone several improvements such as better acquisition and processing methods, faster microprocessors, more features, newer formulae.
The EchoRule followed by Echorule2 and then the EchoRule Proare well established for accuracy and simplicity of operations.
The modern Ophthalmic Practice employs both Ultrasound and Optical Biometry. The ophthalmologist must keep ultrasound biometry as the primary instrument or keep it on hand for patients who cannot be measured with optical biometry. Both technologies are needed in the modern Cataract & Refractive surgery practice. Considering that India’s share of the Cataract & IOL surgeries is over 20% of the Global 35 Million cataract surgeries, the EchoRule plays a significant role.
Surgeons have relied on the applanation technique of the Ultrasound for years, and most have personalized their IOL constants to try to counteract the possibility of the corneal compression error. However, no one disputes that immersion ultrasound is the gold standard of biometry. (In fact, in the earlier days the Optical Biometers, which have also proven to be extremely accurate, was calibrated to immersion ultrasound.
HIGH SPEED
MEASUREMENT
The EchoRule gives you the fastest acquisition of the anatomical measurements of the Eye, including the Axial Length. The ten rapid measurements help you to evaluate the correct Axial Length & navigate through artifacts & glitches with the help of the Standard Deviation values.
Totally dependable and no surprises.
ERGONOMICS & EFFICIENCY
The EchoRule is compact and portable. The LCD touch Screen with its intuitively designed user interface makes the operations, simple & quick. The printer is built in but also provides for a more elaborate printout using an external printer using the USB port.

IMMERSION BIOMETRY
Infusion shells are designed to fit specific probe diameters and sizes,so be sure to buy the BioMedix immersion shell, when ordering the equipment.
The EchoRule Pro meets the challenges of the modern-day Cataract
Today, patients expect cataract surgery to not only restore visual clarity, but to provide excellent vision in refractive terms as well. Unfortunately, the commonly used method of contact biometry isn't accurate enough to produce outcomes that live up to these expectations. The only way biometry technicians can obtain consistent, accurate, reliable readings is by eliminating the error induced by corneal compression.
Immersion Biometry also assists you to accurately measure Lens Thickness & Anterior Chamber Depth, which is required for current Fourth Generation Formulas.
Immersion ultrasound truly is the gold standard in biometry. It provides the efficiency and accuracy you need to achieve the standardized, high-quality postoperative results that today's cataract surgeons and patient demand. Making the switch is easier than you think, and doing so will help you provide your patients with the level of care they deserve.
A common misconception is that immersion biometry is more difficult to perform and more time-consuming for the technician.As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. Immersion biometry is easier than the contact method, and it takes a fraction of the time to perform. This means that a technician using immersion biometry is not only more accurate but also more efficient.The immersion technique is quite simple. The technician gently places a small scleral shell on the anesthetized limbus of the Eye & the probe is either hand-held within the fluid or locked into position in an infusion shell.
