Z CALC 2.3 Online IOL Calculator
Z CALC:
Z CALC® from ZEISS is a software intended to support a user in selecting ZEISS
IOLs by calculation of intraocular lens power and predicted residual
refraction. Z CALC can also be used for IOL power calculations for patients
with previous LASIK, LASEK and PRK treatments.
The new Z CALC is compatible with the following browsers:
Apple Safari mobile for iOS (Version 15 or higher)
Apple Safari Version for MacOS (Version 15 or higher)
Google Chrome for Windows 10 (Version 102 or higher)

• If yes; be sure to enter whether myopic or hyperopic treatment has occurred. -
Enter biometry examination date (optional).
-
Enter surgery date (optional).
Calculation Screen -
Enter axial length from the patient’s record. Select IOLMaster for measurements with an optical biometry device or immersion ultrasound.
-
Select applanation for measurements with applanation ultrasound.
-
Enter the ACD from the patient’s record and indicate if it has been measured from the epithelium or endothelium.
-
Please choose if you want to enter standard (K) Keratometry values or “Total Keratometry (TK)” values, if you want to use the TK values incorporating the posterior corneal curvature measurements from the IOLMaster 700.
-
Enter the K- or TK-readings either in D or radii in mm.
-
Select the “Keratometric index” from the drop down menu.
-
Select Z CALC Nomogram*, if desired.

Choose between toric or non-toric IOL calculation.
-
Select the desired IOL from the drop-down menu.
Click “Accept and calculate”.
Result Screen A You may switch between “Standard Mode” or “Expanded Mode” by clicking the desired mode (top right corner).
IOL product model selection
Standard Mode: Z CALC presents three calculations from which you may choose the most appropriate based on your requirements.
Expanded Mode: You may vary Spherical Equivalent (SE) and cylinder powers (toric IOLs only) to review associated residual refraction and Effective Lens position (ELP).
-
Mathematical compensation for the posterior corneal astigmatism (first implemented with v2.0).
5. IOL product model selection-
Choose between different product models (depending on the availability) from the drop-down menu from thegenerated readings.
