Abstract :
Ocular volume (OV) estimation is important
for proper diagnosis and management of eye diseases
such as microphthalmos, buphthalmos,
macrophthalmos, orbital tumours and refractive errors
such as myopia and hypermetropia. B-scan ultrasound
gives very useful information when visualizing the intraocular structures such as the lens, vitreous body, retina,
choroid and sclera. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and computed tomography (CT) of the eyeball give a
clearer image compared to ultrasound images, though
they are very expensive. Other methods such
as radiography, angiography, photography, gravimetric
methods can also be used in ocular biometry. For this
manuscript, several published materials were searched
for and necessary information related to the key words
in this topic were sorted out and orderly written
systematically. This review summarizes the most recent
methods of OV measurements and estimation as well as
highlighting the merits and demerits of each method.
The limitations of the formulae for estimating OV was
used to make recommendations for future research
