Comparison of intraocular lens power calculation formulas in primary angle closure glaucoma

Accuracy of Intraocular Lens Power Calculation Formulas in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

PURPOSE To compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in eyes with primary angle closure glaucoma (ACG). METHODS This retrospective study compared the refractive outcomes of 63 eyes with primary ACG with the results of 93 eyes with normal open angles undergoing uneventful cataract surgery. Anterior segment biometry including anterior chamber depth, axial length,...

comparison of refractive outcomes of different intraocular lens power calculation formulas in keratoconic patients undergoing phacoemulsification

purpose: in the present study we have tried to find the most reliable intraocular lens (iol) power calculation formula in patients with keratoconus (kcn) and cataract. methods: in a prospective case series between october 2010 and march 2012, eligible patients with cataract and kcn underwent phacoemulsification with iol implantation. preoperatively, based on iol master keratometric data iol pow...

Preliminary outcomes of primary phacoemulsification plus intraocular lens implantation for primary angle-closure glaucoma.

PURPOSE To evaluate effects and safety of primary phacoemulsification plus intraocular lens implantation for controlled chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) or primary angle-closure (PAC). DESIGN Prospective, non-randomized comparative trial. METHODS Two treatment groups were used. The IOL group included the use of phacoemulsification plus intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in 27 eyes. Th...

Inaccuracy of Intraocular Lens Power Prediction for Cataract Surgery in Angle-Closure Glaucoma

PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power predictions for cataract surgery in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma (ACG). Because of shifting of the capsular bag apparatus and shortening of the axial length, preoperative calculation of IOL power may be inaccurate for eyes with ACG. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective comparative case series comprised of 42 eyes f...
