Results of intraocular lens power calculation were lower than actual required power in eyes with previous corneal refractive surgery because the inaccurate readings of corneal power obtained from standard keratometry. This causes the unacceptable hyperopia after cataract surgery. With increasing of population undergone excimer laser refractive surgery, this problem will be an obvious problem in...

A total of 94 patients underwent extracapsular cataract extraction and insertion of Sinsky style two-loop posterior chamber intraocular lenses. Forty-six eyes received a standard power IOL and 48 eyes were given a preoperatively calculated IOL. A significant difference was found in the two groups with regard to the postoperative refractive error and uncorrected visual acuity.

The matrix calculation was applied to Gaussian optics. Matrices were defined for a single diopter, a lens, an association of two centered systems having the same axis when the origins are taken at the vertices of the first and last refracting surfaces. The matrix formula then was used to calculate the power of the emmetropizing lens implant, and its results compared with the ones obtained by fi...

BACKGROUND Despite growing number of intraocular lens power calculation formulas, there is no evidence that these formulas have good predictive accuracy in pediatric, whose eyes are still undergoing rapid growth and refractive changes. This study is intended to compare the prediction error and the accuracy of predictability of intraocular lens power calculation in pediatric patients at 3 month ...

Current Opinion in Ophthalmology 2008, 19:357–362 Purpose of review Corneal refractive procedures have become increasingly popular over the past decade allowing patients to have excellent uncorrected visual acuity and spectacle independence. As these individuals mature, many will eventually undergo cataract surgery. With the advances in modern cataract surgery and lens implant technology, parti...
