Meta-analysis of optical low-coherence reflectometry versus partial coherence interferometry biometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
A meta-analysis to compare ocular biometry measured by optical low-coherence reflectometry (Lenstar LS900; Haag Streit) and partial coherence interferometry (the IOLMaster optical biometer; Carl Zeiss Meditec). A systematic literature search was conducted for articles published up to August 6th 2015 in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Medline, Embase, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database and Wanfang Data. A total of 18 studies involving 1921 eyes were included. There were no statistically significant differences in axial length (mean difference [MD] 0 mm; 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.08 to 0.08 mm; p = 0.92), anterior chamber depth (MD 0.02 mm; 95% CI -0.07 to 0.10 mm; p = 0.67), flat keratometry (MD -0.05 D; 95% CI -0.16 to 0.06 D; p = 0.39), steep keratometry (MD -0.09 D; 95% CI -0.20 to 0.03 D; p = 0.13), and mean keratometry (MD -0.15 D; 95% CI -0.30 to 0.00 D; p = 0.05). The white to white distance showed a statistically significant difference (MD -0.14 mm; 95% CI -0.25 to -0.02 mm; p = 0.02). In conclusion, there was no difference in the comparison of AL, ACD and keratometry readings between the Lenstar and IOLMaster. However the WTW distance indicated a statistically significant difference between the two devices. Apart from the WTW distance, measurements for AL, ACD and keratometry readings may be used interchangeability with both devices.

Low coherence interferometry (LCI) is an optical technique in which light is used as an instrument to obtain high resolution optical images in a great diversity of materials. It is possible to find in the literature, a variety of configurations with different names, based on the same principle: low coherence reflectometry (OLCR), optical coherence tomography (OCT), white light interferometry (W...
متن کاملComparison of a new optical biometer and a standard biometer in cataract patients
BACKGROUND Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure in ophthalmology. Biometry data and accurate intraocular lens (IOL) calculations are very important in achieving the desired refractive outcomes. The aim of this study was to compare measurements using a new optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) biometer (OA-2000) and the gold standard partial coherence interferometry (PCI) ...

PURPOSE To investigate the reliability of partial coherence laser interferometry for optical biometry in highly myopic eyes. METHODS Axial length measurements by the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany) with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ≥2 were performed in 52 consecutive myopic subjects with axial length ≥26.5 mm and 45 emmetropic patients before cataract surgery. Axial length measurements...
