Refractive and Visual Outcomes With the ARGOS Biometer In Eyes With a History of Refractive Surgery: ARGOS Study

The ARGOS biometer uses swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) with a 1060 nm tunable laser to capture high-resolution B-scan images of the entire eye. This technology enables sum-of-segments (S-O-S) biometry, measuring each ocular component-corneal thickness, aqueous depth, lens thickness, and vitreous length-individually and summing these values to determine total axial length. SS-OCT provides deep tissue penetration while simultaneously capturing keratometry, white-to-white, and pupillometry data in a single scan. For keratometry measurements, the ARGOS uniquely employes SS-OCT-based telecentric keratometry, which involves projection of 16 infrared LEDs in a wider 3.0 mm ring pattern onto the cornea and calculates curvature from those reflections.
