PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of refractive surgery on intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, compare methods of IOL power calculation after refractive surgery, evaluate the effect of pre-refractive surgery refractive error on IOL deviation, review the literature on determining IOL power after refractive surgery, and introduce a formula for IOL calculation for use after refractive surgery f...

Obviously, toric lenses have to remain in stable positions after implantation bearing in mind that for every 10 degrees of misalignment, there is one third loss of toric correction. While some time ago this was still a problem, toric IOLs of today are significantly less affected by lens rotation. Another disturbing issue with toric lenses has also been fixed in the meantime: according to a new ...

Postoperative refractive outcome largely depends on the accuracy of calculating power of implanted IOL. Lens power calculation can be done by conventional ultrasound biometry and partial coherence laser interferometry (IOL Master). The aim was to compare the accuracy of IOL power calculations using conventional ultrasound biometry and partial coherence laser interferometry.40 eyes were included...

OBJECTIVES To describe the refractive results of cataract surgery after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for patients with myopia, and to find a more accurate method to predict intraocular lens (IOL) power in these cases. DESIGN Nonrandomized, retrospective clinical study. PATIENTS AND METHODS Nine patients (15 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery after prior PRK to correct myopia were ide...

purpose: in the present study we have tried to find the most reliable intraocular lens (iol) power calculation formula in patients with keratoconus (kcn) and cataract. methods: in a prospective case series between october 2010 and march 2012, eligible patients with cataract and kcn underwent phacoemulsification with iol implantation. preoperatively, based on iol master keratometric data iol pow...

PURPOSE To determine the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations in eyes with high myopia and to suggest adjusted constants for these cases. SETTING Centre for Ophthalmology, Eberhard-Karls-University, Tuebingen, Germany. METHODS Patients with high myopia having phacoemulsification with implantation of an AcrySof MA60MA IOL (power range +5.00 to -5.00 diopters [D]) were evalua...

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 ...

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...

PURPOSE To assess the refractive change and prediction error after temporary intraocular lens (IOL) removal in temporary polypseudophakic eyes using IOL power calculation formulas and Gills' formula. METHODS Four consecutive patients (7 eyes) who underwent temporary IOL explantation were enrolled. Postoperative refractions calculated using IOL power calculation formulas (SRK-II, SRK-T, Hoffer...
