b) How to use the slider when taking measurement by using the chin rest
1) Install the biometry probe to the instrument.
Use a sufficient length of the probe cord, or the cor-

2) Press the probe against the cornea until the slider ap-
proximately aligns to the slider moving face A and
the fixed part

while measurement, as shown in the
figures. If the probe applying pressure is too weak,
the axial length may be measured a little longer than
its actual length due to the corneal protective media
and tears. Care shall, however, be taken not to apply
too excessive a pressure to the cornea with the probe.
