The total length of the eye from the cornea to the retina.

💡 Even a 1mm error in axial length measurement can result in a 2.5 to 3.0 diopter error in the final visual outcome. This highlights why high-precision biometry and modern formulas are non-negotiable for patient satisfaction. Biometry & IOL Power Calculations - PDF

Used both AL and K to predict ELP. These remain widely used today. The total length of the eye from the cornea to the retina

Measuring "Total Corneal Power" (both the front and back of the cornea) is essential for Toric IOLs, which correct astigmatism. Biometry & IOL Power Calculations - PDF

Very high myopes (long eyes) or hyperopes (short eyes) require specialized formulas like the Wang-Koch adjustment.

Used a simple regression equation; often inaccurate for very long or short eyes.
