Coordination among anatomical components (Ocular biometrics) of the eye [corneal and lens power (CP/LP), anterior chamber depth (ACD), thickness (LT), axial length (AL)] determine refractive state eye. Ocular biometric measurements are crucial for selection correct IOL prescription to achieve desired outcome after cataract surgery errors respectively. This was a cross-sectional study conducted ...
