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 ...

This retrospective study evaluates visual (functional) and refractive outcome of correcting hyperopia (i.e. 2.5 D or more) by means of a cataract procedure and simultaneously the pre-existing clinical significant astigmatism (1.5 D or more with the rule; 1 D or more against the rule), if present, by means of an arcuate keratotomy. Nine eyes undergoing clear lens extractions with intraocular len...

AIM To evaluate the prediction error in intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation for a rotationally asymmetric refractive multifocal IOL and the impact on this error of the optimization of the keratometric estimation of the corneal power and the prediction of the effective lens position (ELP). METHODS Retrospective study including a total of 25 eyes of 13 patients (age, 50 to 83y) with previo...

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...

PURPOSE To compare the repeatability and reproducibility of ocular biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power obtained with a new optical biometer (AL-Scan) and a standard optical biometer (IOLMaster 500). SETTING Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. DESIGN Prospective comparative study. METHODS Two independent operators measured eyes with cataract using both biometers....

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of different formulas used for IOL power calculation in patients with high axial myopia undergoing cataract surgery. METHODS A prospective clinical study was carried out on 53 eyes of 51 patients with an axial length from 25.5 to 31.4 mm including 21 males (41.2%) and 30 females (58.8%). Calculation of the IOL power to be implanted was done by three available ...

PURPOSE To compare the accuracy of four different intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas for eyes with mean keratometry values greater than 46 diopters (D). METHODS Forty five eyes from 45 patients who were candidates for senile cataract surgery with mean keratometry values greater than 46 D were included. Calculation of the IOL power was performed by the Lenstar. The implanted IOL...

PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate the no-history method for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in 15 cataractous eyes that had previous myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and for which the pre-LASIK K-readings were not available. SETTING Private practice, Lynwood, California, USA. METHODS The predicted IOL power was calculated in each case. Also calculated were the mean arith...

PURPOSE To describe a new formula, BESSt, to estimate true corneal power after keratorefractive surgery in eyes requiring cataract surgery. SETTING Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, United Kingdom. METHODS The BESSt formula, based on the Gaussian optics formula, was developed using data from 143 eyes that had keratorefractive surgery. The formula takes into account anterior and posterior cor...
