[Trial of new intraocular lens power calculation following phototherapeutic keratectomy].
We reviewed the SRK-II method and introduce a new equation to calculate the intraocular lens (IOL) power for eyes which underwent laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). The Gullstrand series was used to determine the power and the radius of curvature of planoconvex IOLs which alter the focal point from the cornea to reach the conjugate point on the retina. The radius of anterior corneal curv...
متن کاملIntraocular lens power calculation for cataract surgery after photorefractive keratectomy.
OBJECTIVE To assess intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations in patients undergoing cataract surgery after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for myopia. METHODS Four eyes of two patients underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation after PRK for myopia. The estimated refractive error that would have been induced had the IOL predicted for emmetropia been implanted was cal...
متن کاملintraocular lens power calculation after keratorefractive surgery
purpose: to determine corneal power for intraocular lens (iol) power calculation in eyes with previous keratorefractive surgery. methods: in 13 eyes of 9 patients with previous keratorefractive surgery undergoing phacoemulcification, iol power was calculated using the clinical history method (chm) in one case, manual keratometry (mkr) in 2, simk in 3, and flattest k (topographically derived) in...
متن کاملIntraocular Lens Power Calculation after Corneal Refractive Surgery
PURPOSE To determine the accuracy of a method of calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power after corneal refractive surgery. SETTING Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital de Gipuzkoa, San Sebastián, Spain. METHODS The SRK/T formula was modified to use the pre refractive surgery K-value (Kpre) for the effective lens position (ELP) calculation and the post refractive surgery K-value (Kpost) fo...
متن کامل[Intraocular lens power calculation after corneal photorefractive surgery. Literature review].
OBJECTIVE Revision of methods for estimating corneal power (Kpost) and effective lens position (ELP) for cataract surgery after corneal refractive surgery. METHODS Review of medical literature. RESULTS To calculate the intraocular lens that achieves emetropia after corneal refractive surgery it is necessary to correct the Kpost and to estimate the effective lens position again correcting it...
