Arizcuren AR, Jiménez-García M, Castro-Alonso FJ, Consejo A. Description of a new method to calculate the equator of the crystalline lens using AS-OCT images: Accuracy in non-dilated measurements. Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2024; 44:1107-1113. [PMID: 38873901 DOI: 10.1111/opo.13353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a methodology for objectively estimating the Lens Equatorial Plane (LEP) from clinical images, comparing LEP with dilated versus non-dilated pupils. METHODS A cohort of 91 eyes from 60 patients undergoing preoperative assessments for cataract surgery was evaluated. Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) images were analysed under conditions of pharmacologically induced pupil dilation versus a non-dilated pupil. Geometrical parameters, including LEP, intersection diameter (ID), lens thickness (LT), anterior and posterior lens thickness were automatically calculated by applying standard image processing techniques to clinical AS-OCT images. RESULTS Significant differences in lens parameters, including LEP, were observed between dilated and non-dilated conditions (all p < 0.001). A strong linear correlation was found across all geometrical variables under both conditions (r[LEP] = 0.64, r[ID] = 0.78, r[LT] = 0.99, all p < 0.001); enabling reliable correction of these differences. CONCLUSION The study introduces an objective methodology for LEP calculation, emphasising the need to consider the eye's physiological state during preoperative measurements. Incorporating LEP into future intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas and replacing the habitual effective lens position may potentially improve the accuracy of IOL power estimation and thus postoperative visual outcomes.

Zeng Z, Zhu M, Zhang G. Accuracy of intraocular lens calculation formulas based on swept-source OCT biometer in cataract patients with phakic intraocular lens. BMC Ophthalmol 2024; 24:326. [PMID: 39103785 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-024-03605-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To research the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas and investigate the effect of anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography biometer (IOLMaster 700) in patients with posterior chamber phakic IOL (PC-pIOL). METHODS Retrospective case series. The IOLMaster 700 biometer was used to measure axial length (AL) and anterior segment parameters. The traditional formulas (SRK/T, Holladay 1 and Haigis) with or without Wang-Koch (WK) AL adjustment, and new-generation formulas (Barret Universal II [BUII], Emmetropia Verifying Optical [EVO] v2.0, Kane, Pearl-DGS) were utilized in IOL power calculation. RESULTS This study enrolled 24 eyes of 24 patients undergoing combined PC-pIOL removal and cataract surgery at Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University, Xiamen, Fujian, China. The median absolute prediction error in ascending order was EVO 2.0 (0.33), Kane (0.35), SRK/T-WKmodified (0.42), Holladay 1-WKmodified (0.44), Haigis-WKC1 (0.46), Pearl-DGS (0.47), BUII (0.58), Haigis (0.75), SRK/T (0.79), and Holladay 1 (1.32). The root-mean-square absolute error in ascending order was Haigis-WKC1 (0.591), Holladay 1-WKmodified (0.622), SRK/T-WKmodified (0.623), EVO (0.673), Kane (0.678), Pearl-DGS (0.753), BUII (0.863), Haigis (1.061), SRK/T (1.188), and Holladay 1 (1.513). A detailed analysis of ACD and LT measurement error revealed negligible impact on refractive outcomes in BUII and EVO 2.0 when these parameters were incorporated or omitted in the formula calculation. CONCLUSION The Kane, EVO 2.0, and traditional formulas with WK AL adjustment displayed high prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the ACD and LT measurement error does not exert a significant influence on the accuracy of IOL power calculation formulas in highly myopic eyes implanted with PC-pIOL.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of a new intraocular lens power calculation formula using segmental refractive index-based axial length (AL). SETTING Chukyo Eye Clinic, Nagoya, Japan. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. METHODS This study included patients undergoing preoperative examination for cataract surgery with the new Barrett True AL (BTAL) and Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO) formulas using segmental refractive index, and conventional Barrett Universal II (BU II) formula using equivalent refractive index. The predicted refractive error of each formula was compared with the postoperative subjective spherical equivalent. RESULTS The mean prediction error (MPE) in the short AL group (≤22 mm; 44 eyes) was 0.32 ± 0.40 diopter (D) for BU II, 0.22 ± 0.37 D for BTAL, and 0.10 ± 0.37 D for EVO ( P < .0001). MPE in the long AL group (≥26 mm; 92 eyes) was 0.01 ± 0.32 D for BU II, 0.04 ± 0.32 D for BTAL, and 0.09 ± 0.32 D for EVO ( P < .0001). In patients with an AL ≥ 28 mm, BU II showed a myopic trend in 57.1% of cases, while BTAL and EVO showed a hyperopic trend in 71.4%. The MPE for patients with an AL ≥ 28 mm was -0.16 ± 0.34 D for BU II, 0.18 ± 0.33 D for BTAL, and 0.16 ± 0.32 D for EVO ( P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS The new EVO and BTAL formulas showed higher accuracy than BU II in short eyes, whereas there was no difference in long eyes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare changes in the posterior curvature and the posterior-anterior radii ratio of the cornea, 1 year postoperatively in laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK), photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). METHODS This retrospective study was performed at a single surgical center. 199 eyes were included in the study from 119 patients with manifest refraction spherical equivalents from -7.61 to -2.54 D. 67 eyes underwent LASIK, 89 underwent PRK, and 43 underwent SMILE. Both preoperative and 1-year postoperative front and back sagittal keratometry were measured at 4- to 6-mm zones around the corneal vertex. Corneal asphericity (Q-value) was measured at an 8-mm zone around the corneal vertex. RESULTS The average change in the posterior-anterior radii ratio after LASIK, PRK, and SMILE did not differ between surgery groups at 4 mm (LASIK: -0.075, PRK: -0.073, SMILE: -0.072, P = 0.720), 5 mm (LASIK: -0.072, PRK: -0.068, SMILE: -0.068, P = 0.531), or 6 mm (LASIK: -0.075, PRK: -0.071, SMILE: -0.072, P = 0.456) zones. Anterior Q-value significantly positively increased after all 3 surgeries ( P < 0.001). The posterior Q-value also significantly positively increased after LASIK ( P < 0.001) and SMILE ( P < 0.001), but not after PRK ( P = 0.227). Both anterior and posterior keratometric power decreased significantly after LASIK, PRK, and SMILE for all diameters. CONCLUSIONS The change in the posterior-anterior radii ratio was not influenced by the type of refractive surgery performed, as indicated by statistically identical preoperative, postoperative, and delta values. In addition, the posterior cornea exhibited paracentral flattening after LASIK, SMILE, and PRK and increased oblateness after LASIK and SMILE.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas and the effect of anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length (AL) and lens thickness (LT) on the prediction accuracy in shallow ACD eyes. METHODS This retrospective, consecutive case-series study included 648 eyes of 648 patients with an ACD < 3.0 mm who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation. Eleven formulas were evaluated: Barrett Universal II (BUII), Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO) 2.0, Hill-Radial Basis Function (RBF) 3.0, Hoffer QST, Kane, Olsen, Pearl-DGS and traditional formulas (Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1 and SRK/T). Subgroup analysis was performed based on ACD, AL and LT. RESULTS Overall, the Hoffer QST and Kane showed no systematic bias. The Kane, EVO 2.0, Hill-RBF 3.0 and Hoffer QST had relatively lower mean absolute error and higher percentages of prediction error within ±0.5 D. For the ACD of 2.5-3.0 mm and AL < 22.0 mm subgroup, the Pearl-DGS exhibited the lowest MAE (0.45 D) and MedAE (0.41 D). Most formulas had a significant myopic bias (-0.43 to -0.18 D, p < 0.05) in the LT < 4.3 mm subgroup and a significant hyperopic bias (0.09-0.29 D, p < 0.05) in the LT ≥ 5.1 mm subgroup. CONCLUSION The Kane and Hoffer QST were recommended for shallow ACD eyes. In eyes with an ACD between 2.5 and 3.0 mm and a short AL, the Pearl-DGS showed excellent performance. Clinicians need to fine-tune the target refraction according to LT in shallow ACD eyes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether the intraocular lens (IOL) calculation of the fellow eye (FE) can be used in eyes undergoing combined phacovitrectomy. METHODS In this retrospective, consecutive case series, we enrolled patients who underwent combined phacovitrectomy with silicone oil removal and IOL implantation at the Goethe-University. Preoperative examinations included biometry (IOLMaster 700; Carl Zeiss). We used the IOL calculation of the FE (FE group) to calculate the prediction error compared with the IOL calculation using only the axial length (AL) of the FE (AL-FE group), as well as using the AL of the operated eye (OE group) in addition to the measurable biometric parameters. IOL calculation was performed using the Barrett Universal II formula. We compared the mean (MAE) and median absolute prediction error (MedAE) with each other. Furthermore, the number of eyes with ±0.50, ±1.00 and ±2.00 dioptres (D) deviation from the target refraction was compared. RESULTS In total, 79 eyes of 79 patients were included. MedAE was lowest in the OE group (0.41 D), followed by FE group (1.00 D) and AL-FE group (1.02 D). Comparison between the AL-FE and FE groups showed no statistically significant difference (p = 0.712). Comparing eyes within ±0.50 D of the target refraction, the OE group (63.3%) performed best, followed by the AL-FE group (27.8%) and the FE group (26.6%). CONCLUSION Our results indicate no clinically relevant difference between using the IOL calculation of the FE versus using only the AL of the FE in addition to the measurable parameters for the IOL calculation. A two-step procedure should always be strived for.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe gender differences in the biometric parameters of a large sample of patients with cataract. Cataract surgery has evolved from a vision restoration to a refractive procedure, and population-based studies are vital to optimize normative databases and postsurgical outcomes. SETTING Miguel Servet University Hospital, Zaragoza, Spain. DESIGN Retrospective single-center observational study. METHODS The study included 34 589 eyes (20 004 patients with cataract). Biometric data were obtained from IOL Master 700 and Pentacam HR. Linear mixed models were used to account for intereye correlation. HofferQST formula was used to calculate the hypothetical distribution of intraocular lens (IOL) power (arbitrary lens; A = 119.2). RESULTS Most biometric variables showed significant differences between sexes ( P < .0001), such as 0.53 mm shorter eyes found in females, of which 0.16 mm are explained by shorter aqueous depth. Steeper anterior keratometries (∼0.75 diopter [D]) were found in women, to end up in no difference on anterior astigmatism magnitude, but different orientation ( P < .0001). The distribution of IOL power differed between sexes ( P < .001), with the interquartile range shifting 1 D toward more powerful lenses in women and odds ratio (power >26 D) = 2.26, P < .0001 (Fisher). CONCLUSIONS Large sample size studies provide smaller margin of error, higher power, and controlled risk of reporting false (negative or positive) findings. Highly significant differences between sexes in ocular biometry were found; this supports the idea that including sex as a parameter in IOL calculation should be explored and may improve results. In addition, the distribution of IOL powers was provided, which may be useful for manufacturers and hospital stock planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of our study was to compare the safety and efficacy of two scleral fixation intraocular lens (IOL) methods of four-point scleral fixation (Akreos AO60) and the Yamane technique (AcrySof MA60AC). METHODS This prospective, randomized study was conducted at the Military Institute of Medicine-National Research Institute in Warsaw between 2021 and 2023. We compared both groups for cause of aphakia, ocular history, refractive status, and complication. RESULTS Our study included 50 eyes from 47 patients. Four-point fixation was performed in 25 eyes (group 1), and the Yamane technique was used in 25 eyes (group 2). Surgical time was 24.1 min ± 8.9 in group 1 and 25.1 min ± 9.9 in group 2 (p > 0.05). The postoperative BCVA (best-corrected visual acuity) for group 1 and group 2 at 1 year's observation was 0.10 ± 0.15 and 0.09 ± 0.17 logMAR, respectively (p > 0.05). Postoperative total refractive error (RE) was - 0.06 ± 0.71 diopters (D) for four-point scleral fixation and 0.83 ± 0.70 D for Yamane technique (p < 0.05). Endothelial cell density (ECD) loss was 0.9% in group 1 and 3.5% in group 2 (p > 0.05). Bleeding into the anterior chamber and vitreous body was more frequent in the group of patients operated on with the use of the Yamane technique (10 cases, 20%, p = 0.01). IOL displacement was found in one case (2%) in group 2. CONCLUSIONS Both analyzed techniques are well tolerated and ensure good refractive results (extremely predictable in four-point scleral fixation) and have a similar safety profile. Four-point scleral fixation of IOL would appear to be safe, effective and beneficial for young, active patients, especially after trauma or recurrent subluxation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present a paraxial method to estimate the influence of variations in ocular biometry on changes in refractive error (S) at a population level and apply this method to literature data. METHODS Error propagation was applied to two methods of eye modelling, referred to as the simple method and the matrix method. The simple method defines S as the difference between the axial power and the whole-eye power, while the matrix method uses more accurate ray transfer matrices. These methods were applied to literature data, containing the mean ocular biometry data from the SyntEyes model, as well as populations of premature infants with or without retinopathy, full-term infants, school children and healthy and diabetic adults. RESULTS Applying these equations to 1000 SyntEyes showed that changes in axial length provided the most important contribution to the variations in refractive error (57%-64%), followed by lens power/gradient index power (16%-31%) and the anterior corneal radius of curvature (10%-13%). All other components of the eye contributed <4%. For young children, the largest contributions were made by variations in axial length, lens and corneal power for the simple method (67%, 23% and 8%, respectively) and by variations in axial length, gradient lens power and anterior corneal curvature for the matrix method (55%, 21% and 14%, respectively). During myopisation, the influence of variations in axial length increased from 54.5% to 73.4%, while changes in corneal power decreased from 9.82% to 6.32%. Similarly, for the other data sets, the largest contribution was related to axial length. CONCLUSIONS This analysis confirms that the changes in ocular refraction were mostly associated with variations in axial length, lens and corneal power. The relative contributions of the latter two varied, depending on the particular population.

[PMID: 39064485 PMCID: PMC11278565 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60071057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: To compare the biometry of eyes obtained with two swept-source optical coherence tomography-based biometers-Argos (A), using an individual refractive index, and IOLMaster 700 (IM), using an equivalent refractive index-for all structures. Materials and Methods: The biometry of 105 eyes of 105 patients before cataracts were analyzed in this study. Parameters such as axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and lens thickness (LT) were compared from both devices. According to the axial length measurements, patients were divided into three groups, as follows: group 1-short eyes (AL < 22.5 mm), group 2-average eyes (22.5 ≤ AL ≤ 26.0 mm), and group 3-long eyes (AL > 26.0 mm). Results: The correlation coefficiency among all compared parameters varies from R = 0.92 to R = 1.00, indicating excellent reliability of IM and A. A statistical significance in axial length was indicated in the group of short eyes (n = 26)-mean AL (A) 21.90 mm (±0.59 mm) vs. AL (IM) 21.8 mm ± (0.61 mm) (p < 0.001)-and in the group of long eyes (n = 5)-mean AL (A) 27.95 mm (±2.62 mm) vs. mean AL (IM) 28.10 mm (±2.64) (p < 0.05). In the group of average eyes (n = 74), outcomes were similar-mean AL (A) 23.56 mm (±0.70 mm) vs. mean AL (IM) 23,56 mm (±0.71 mm) (p > 0.05). The anterior chamber depth measurements were higher when obtained with Argos than with IOLMaster 700-mean ACD (A) 3.06 mm (±0.48 mm) vs. mean ACD (IM) 2.92 mm (±0.46) p < 0.001. There was no statistical significance in mean LT-mean LT (A) 4.75 mm (±0.46 mm) vs. mean LT (IM) 4.72 mm (±0.44 mm) (p = 0.054). The biometry of one eye with dense cataracts could be measured only with Argos, using the Enhanced Retinal Visualization mode. Conclusions: Axial length measurements from both devices were different in the groups of short and long eyes, but were comparable in the group of average eyes. The anterior chamber depth values obtained with Argos were higher than the measurements acquired with IOLMaster 700. These differences may be particularly important when selecting IOLs for patients with extreme AL values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the visual and refractive outcomes in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) undergoing routine cataract surgery and to compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulae. METHODS Retrospective case-series study from Shamir medical center, a public hospital, Israel. Medical records of patients who underwent routine cataract surgery between January 2019 and August 2021 were investigated. Postoperative visual acuity and manifest refraction were examined. The error in predicted refraction and IOL power calculation accuracy within a range of ± 0.50 to ± 1.00 diopters were compared between different IOL calculating formulae. RESULTS 151 eyes of 151 patients ages 73.9 ± 7.1 years were included in this study- 58 eyes in the PXF group and 93 eyes in the control group. The mean absolute error (MAE) for the BUII formula was 0.63D ± 0.87 for the PXF group and 0.36D ± 0.48 for the control group (p < 0.05). The MAE for the Hill-RBF 3.0 formula was 0.61D ± 0.84 for the PXF group and 0.42D ± 0.55 for the control group (p = 0.05). There were significant differences in MAE and MedAE between PXF group and control group measures (p < 0.05). In the PXF group there were no significant differences between the different formulae. CONCLUSIONS There were significant differences in accuracy of IOL power calculations in all formulae between PXF group and control group measures. PXF patients show hyperopic shift from predicted refraction. Barret universal II formula had the highest proportion of eyes with absolute error in prediction below or equal to 0.50 D in both PXF and control groups.

Prediction of low-addition segmented refractive intraocular lens position and deviation using anterior-segment optical coherence tomography. PLoS One 2024; 19:e0305076. [PMID: 38857255 PMCID: PMC11164357 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0305076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to develop and analyze the accuracy of predictive formulae for postoperative anterior chamber depth, tilt, and decentration of low-added-segment refractive intraocular lenses. This single-center, retrospective, observational study included the right eyes of 96 patients (mean age: 72.43 ± 6.58 years), who underwent a cataract surgery with implantation of a low-added segmented refractive intraocular lens at the Medical University Hospital between July 2019 and January 2021, and were followed up for more than 1 month postoperatively. The participants were divided into an estimation group to create a prediction formula and a validation group to verify the accuracy of the formula. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (CASIA 2, Tomey Corporation, Japan) and swept-source optical coherence tomography biometry (IOL Master 700, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) were used to measure the anterior ocular components. A predictive formula was devised for postoperative anterior chamber depth, intraocular lens tilt, and intraocular lens decentration (p <0.01) in the estimation group. A significant positive correlation was observed between the estimated values calculated using the prediction formula and the measured values for postoperative anterior chamber depth (r = 0.792), amount of intraocular lens tilt (r = 0.610), direction of intraocular lens tilt (r = 0.668), and amount of intraocular lens decentration (r = 0.431) (p < 0.01) in the validation group. In conclusion, our findings reveal that predicting the position of the low-added segmented refractive intraocular lens enables the prognosis of postoperative refractive values with a greater accuracy in determining the intraocular lens adaptation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the influence of lens thickness (LT) on accuracy of Kane, Hill-RBF 3.0 Barrett Universal II (BUII), Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO), and Pearl-DGS formulas in eyes with different axial lengths (AL). METHODS The prospective cohort study was conducted at Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University. Patients who had uneventful cataract surgery between March 2021 and July 2023 were recruited. Manifest refraction was conducted two-month post-surgery. Eyes were divided into 4 groups based on AL: short (<22mm), medium (22-24.5 mm), medium long (24.5-26mm) and very long (≥26mm). In each AL group, eyes were then divided into 3 subgroups based on the LT measured with IOLmaster700: thin (<4.5 mm), medium (4.5-5.0 mm), and thick (≥ 5 mm). The influence of LT on accuracy of Kane, Hill-RBF 3.0, BUII, EVO, and Pearl-DGS formulas were investigated in each AL group. RESULTS A total of 327 eyes from 327 patients were analyzed, with 64, 102, 73 and 88 eyes in each AL group, respectively. In eyes with AL < 24.5 mm, myopic PE was significantly associated with greater LT using all the 5 formulas (all p < 0.05). Backward stepwise multivariate regression analyses revealed that LT was an important influencing factor for PE in all 5 formulas, particularly in eyes with AL <24.5 mm. In eyes with AL <24.5 mm and LT > 5.0 mm, PE of all 5 formulas calculated with the optional parameter LT were more myopic than those calculated without LT. CONCLUSIONS Thicker LT was associated with more myopic PE among eyes with AL <24.5 mm when using all 5 formulas. Further optimization of current formulas is necessary, especially for eyes with short AL and thick LT.

Clin Ophthalmol 2024; 18:1503-1514. [PMID: 38827772 PMCID: PMC11143984 DOI: 10.2147/opth.s459282] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The primary objective was to investigate if treatment with artificial tears affected the variability of keratometry measurements for subjects with dry eyes prior to cataract surgery. The secondary objectives were to investigate whether treatment with artificial tears improved refractive precision and whether subjects with non-dry eyes had better refractive precision than subjects with dry eyes. Design Prospective randomized controlled trial with three arms. Patients and methods Dry eye diagnostics according to DEWS II were performed, and subjects with dry eyes were randomized to no treatment (group A1) or treatment with artificial tears two weeks prior to cataract surgery (group A2), with the third group (Group B, non-dry eyes) as a control. Keratometry was performed twice at baseline and twice after two weeks at the time of cataract surgery with three different optical biometers. The change in mean variability of keratometry (average K and magnitude of vector differences) and percentages of outliers after two weeks versus baseline were compared for group A2. The refractive and astigmatism prediction errors were calculated eight weeks after cataract surgery and compared for all three groups. Results One hundred thirty-one subjects were available for analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean variability of keratometry or percentages of outliers for group A2 from baseline to the time of cataract surgery. There was no statistically significant difference in refractive precision (absolute error and astigmatism prediction error) between any groups. Conclusion Subjects with dry eyes (treated and non-treated) achieved the same refractive precision and percentages of outliers as subjects with non-dry eyes. Treatment with artificial tears for two weeks appeared inadequate to significantly affect variability in biometric measurements for patients with dry eyes prior to cataract surgery. DEWS II criteria for DED may not be optimal in a cataract setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a concept for predicting the effects of both discrete intraocular lens (IOL) power steps (PS) and power labelling tolerances (LT) on the uncertainty of the refractive outcome (REFU). DESIGN Retrospective non-randomised cross-sectional Monte Carlo simulation study. METHODS We evaluated a dataset containing 16 669 IOLMaster 700 preoperative biometric measurements. The PS and the delivery range of two modern IOLs (Bausch and Lomb enVista and Alcon SA60AT) were considered for this Monte Carlo simulation. The uncertainties from PS or LT were assumed to be normally distributed according to ±½ the IOL PS or the ISO 11979 LT. REFU was recorded and analysed for all simulations. RESULTS With both lenses the REFU from discrete PS ranged from 0.11 to 0.12 dpt. Due to the larger PS for low/high power lenses with the enVista/SA60AT, REFU is more dominant in initially myopic/hyperopic eyes. REFU from LT ranged from 0.18 to 0.19 dpt for both lenses. Since LT increases stepwise with IOL power, REFU is more prevalent in initially hyperopic eyes requiring high IOL power values, and for lenses with a wide delivery range towards higher powers. CONCLUSIONS Since surgeons and patients are typically aware of the effect of discrete PS on REFU, these might be tolerated in cataract surgery. However, REFU resulting from LT is inevitable while the true measured IOL power is not reported on the package, leading to background noise in postoperative achieved refraction.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the repeatability of a new swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT)-based biometer to measure anterior segment parameters and to assess the agreement with 3 other imaging devices based on different measurement principles. SETTING Unit of Eye and Vision, Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. DESIGN Prospective, comparative case series. METHODS 3 consecutive measurements were obtained in unoperated eyes with the Eyestar900 (SS-OCT), Lenstar 900, MS-39, and Sirius. The following anterior segment parameters were evaluated: central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal diameter (CD), aqueous depth (AQD), and corneal power metrics. The repeatability limit (Rlim), coefficient of variation (CoV), and a repeated measures Bland-Altman analysis were performed. RESULTS 74 eyes of 74 participants were measured. The Rlims for CCT, CD, and AQD were lower than 10 μm, 0.3 mm, and 0.10 mm for all devices, respectively. The corresponding CoVs for these parameters never exceeded 1.2%. The Rlim for the corneal power metrics never exceeded 0.60 diopter (D) for any of the instruments. Lenstar showed the best agreement with the MS-39 to measure CCT, CD, and AQD (limit of agreement interval, LoA: 15.54 μm, 0.55 mm, and 0.16 mm, respectively). The mean difference for keratometry parameters was lower than 0.3 D for all device comparisons, and the LoA interval ranged between 0.52 D and 1.21 D. CONCLUSIONS The repeatability for measuring anterior segment parameters was good, and the agreement among all the instruments was good for CD and AQD measurements. However, for CCT and keratometer parameters, the instruments cannot be used interchangeably due to large LoA interval.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the difference between the segmented axial length (AL) and the composite AL on a swept-source optical coherence tomography biometer and to evaluate the subsequent effects on artificial intelligence intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations: the Kane and Hill-RBF 3.0 formulas compared with established vergence formulas. SETTING National Hospital Organization, Tokyo Medical Center, Japan. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing cataract surgery with a single-piece IOL were reviewed. The prediction accuracy of the Barrett Universal II, Haigis, Hill-RBF 3.0, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, Kane, and SRK/T formulas based on 2 ALs were compared for each formula. The heteroscedastic test was used with the SD of prediction errors as the endpoint for formula performance. RESULTS The study included 145 eyes of 145 patients. The segmented AL (24.83 ± 1.89) was significantly shorter than the composite AL (24.88 ± 1.96, P < .001). Bland-Altman analysis revealed a negative proportional bias for the differences between the segmented AL and the composite AL. The SD values obtained by Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, and SRK/T formulas based on the segmented AL (0.52 diopters [D], 0.54 D, and 0.50 D, respectively) were significantly lower than those based on the composite AL (0.57 D, 0.60 D, and 0.52 D, respectively, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS The segmented ALs were longer in short eyes and shorter in long eyes than the composite ALs. The refractive accuracy can be improved in the Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, and SRK/T formulas by changing the composite ALs to the segmented ALs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the uncertainty in the formula predicted refractive outcome REFU after cataract surgery resulting from measurement uncertainties in modern optical biometers using literature data for within-subject standard deviation Sw. METHODS This Monte-Carlo simulation study used a large dataset containing 16 667 preoperative IOLMaster 700 biometric measurements. Based on literature Sw values, REFU was derived for both the Haigis and Castrop formulae using error propagation strategies. Using the Hoya Vivinex lens (IOL) as an example, REFU was calculated both with (WLT) and without (WoLT) consideration of IOL power labelling tolerances. RESULTS WoLT the median REFU was 0.10/0.12 dpt for the Haigis/Castrop formula, and WLT it was 0.13/0.15 dpt. WoLT REFU increased systematically for short eyes (or high power IOLs), and WLT this effect was even more pronounced because of increased labelling tolerances. WoLT the uncertainty in the measurement of the corneal front surface radius showed the largest contribution to REFU, especially in long eyes (and low power IOLs). WLT the IOL power uncertainty dominated in short eyes (or high power IOLs) and the uncertainty of the corneal front surface in long eyes (or low power IOLs). CONCLUSIONS Compared with published data on the formula prediction error of refractive outcome after cataract surgery, the uncertainty of biometric measures seems to contribute with ⅓ to ½ to the entire standard deviation. REFU systematically increases with IOL power and decreases with axial length.

Abstract
PURPOSE To present a reproducible method to calculate the toricity needed at the intraocular lens (IOL) plane with toric phakic IOLs (ICL, Staar Surgical) and compare its results with those obtained with the online calculator provided by the manufacturer. DESIGN Retrospective case series. SETTING Private practice, Buenos Aires, Argentina. METHODS The formula originally described by Holladay to calculate the IOL power in phakic eyes was used to calculate the required spherical power along the less refractive meridian and along the more refractive meridian. Meridional analysis was applied to calculate the required toricity at the IOL plane and the surgically induced corneal astigmatism was incorporated into the calculations. The refractive cylinder predicted by this method and by the online calculator of the manufacturer were compared to the postoperative refractive cylinder by means of vector analysis. The possible changes in the ratio of toricity in patients with different amounts of astigmatism and anterior chamber depth are assessed in a theoretical section. RESULTS In 35 eyes, the measured mean postoperative refractive cylinder was 0.09 D @ 99°, the mean predicted postoperative refractive astigmatism was 0.04 D @ 102° according to the manufacturer's online calculator and 0.09 D @100° according to our method. With both methods, 91.43% of eyes had an absolute cylinder prediction error within ±0.50 diopters. CONCLUSIONS The method described in this article to calculate the toricity of phakic IOLs has a refractive accuracy similar to that of the original calculator developed by the manufacturer.

Accuracy of toric intraocular lens power calculation depending on different keratometry values using a novel network based software platform. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1363286.

Abstract
Purpose To compare different corneal keratometry readings (swept-source-OCT-assisted biometry and Scheimpflug imaging) with a novel software platform for calculation of toric intraocular lenses. Setting Department of Ophthalmology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany. Design Retrospective, non-randomized, clinical trial. Methods Twenty-three eyes undergoing toric intraocular lens implantation were included. Inclusion criteria were preoperative regular corneal astigmatism of at least 1.00 D, no previous refractive surgery, no ocular surface diseases and no maculopathies. Lens exchange was performed with CALLISTO eye (Zeiss). For each patient, the expected postoperative residual refraction was calculated depending on three different corneal parameters of two different devices: standard K-front (K) and total keratometry (TK) obtained by a swept-source-OCT-assisted biometry system (IOL Master 700, Zeiss) as well as total corneal refractive power (TCRP) obtained by a Scheimpflug device (Pentacam AXL, Oculus). Barrett's formula for toric intraocular lenses was used for all calculations within a novel software platform (EQ workplace, Zeiss FORUM®). Results were statistically compared with postoperative refraction calculated according to the Harris dioptric power matrix. Results The standard K values (mean PE 0.02 D ± 0.45 D) and TK values (mean PE 0.09 D ± 0.43 D) of the IOL Master 700 reached similar results (p = 0.96). 78% of eyes in both K and TK groups achieved SE within ±0.5 D of attempted correction and all eyes (100%) were within ±1.0 D of attempted correction in both groups. By contrast, the prediction error in the IOL calculation using the TCRP of the Scheimpflug device was significantly greater (mean PE -0.56 D ± 0.49 D; p = 0.00 vs. standard K and p = 0.00 vs. TK) with adjusted refractive indices. Thirty-nine and Ninety-one percentage of eyes in the TCRP group achieved SE within ±0.5 D (p = 0.008 K vs. TCRP and p = 0.005 TK vs. TCRP) and ± 1.0 D (p = 0.14 vs. TCRP) of attempted correction, respectively. Conclusion All three corneal parameters (standard K, TK, TCRP) performed well in calculating toric IOLs. The most accurate refractive outcomes in toric IOL implantation were achieved by IOL calculations based on swept-source-OCT-assisted biometry. The SS-OCT-based K-front and TK values achieve comparable results in the calculation of toric IOLs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To study the effect of ocular biomechanics on the prediction error of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation. SETTING Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto, Porto, Portugal. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal study. METHODS This study included 67 subjects. Before cataract surgery subjects underwent biometry with IOLMaster 700 and biomechanical analysis with Corvis Scheimpflug technology. The targeted spherical equivalent was calculated with SRK-T and Barrett Universal II. Associations between prediction error (PE), absolute prediction error (AE), and biometric and biomechanical parameters were performed with stepwise multivariate linear correlation analysis. RESULTS Using the SRKT formula, there was association between PE and Corvis Biomechanical Index (CBI, B = -0.531, P = .011) and between AE and the horizontal offset between the center of the pupil and the visual axis (angle κ, B = -0.274, P = .007). Considering the Barret Universal II formula, PE was independently associated with anterior chamber depth ( B = -0.279, P = .021) and CBI ( B = -0.520, P = .013) and AE was associated with angle κ ( B = -0.370, P = .007). CONCLUSIONS A large angle κ may reduce the predictability of IOL power calculation. Ocular biomechanics likely influence the refractive outcomes after IOL implantation. This study showed that eyes with softer corneal biomechanics had more myopic PE. This may relate to anteriorization of the effective lens position. Dynamic measurements may be the way to progress into future formulas.

Abstract
This study evaluated the accuracy of newer formulas (Barrett Universal II, EVO 2.0, Kane, Hoffer QST, and PEARL-DGS) and the Haigis formula in Korean patients with the Alcon TFNT multifocal intraocular lens. In total, 3100 randomly selected eyes of 3100 patients were retrospectively reviewed. After constant optimization, the standard deviation (SD) of the prediction error was assessed for the entire group, and the root mean square error was compared for short and long axial length (AL) subgroup analysis. The Cooke-modified AL (CMAL) was experimentally applied to the Haigis formula. All the newer formulas performed well, but they did not significantly outperform the Haigis formula. In addition, all the newer formulas exhibited significant myopic outcomes (- 0.23 to - 0.29 diopters) in long eyes. Application of the CMAL to the Haigis formula with single constant optimization produced similar behavior and higher correlation with the newer formulas. The CMAL-applied triple-optimized Haigis formula yielded a substantially smaller SD, even superior to the Barrett and Hoffer QST formulas. The AL modification algorithms such as the CMAL used in newer formulas to cope with optical biometry's overestimation of the AL in long eyes seemed to overcompensate, particularly in the long eyes of the East Asian population.

Abstract
The advent of femtosecond lasers has resulted in a new standard in cataract surgery, intended to overmatch the paradigm of conventional phacoemulsification. Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) enables a higher level of reproducibility, precision, accuracy, and customization when performing several steps of cataract (or lens) surgery. Capsulotomy, corneal incisions, lens fragmentation, and arcuate incisions are the main procedures performed using FLACS. As the demand for better refractive outcomes and spectacle independence increases, the features of FLACS are highly relevant, especially when considering the implantation of premium intraocular lenses, such as toric, enhanced depth-of-focus, or multifocal lenses. The present article reviews the state of the art of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract (lens) surgery, contemplating the advantages and limitations of the two types of femtosecond laser pulses available (high and low energy) by evaluating their reported outcomes and complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the relationship between refractive outcomes and postoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD, measured from corneal epithelium to lens) measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR), and Scheimpflug devices under the undilated pupil. METHODS Patients undergoing cataract phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in a hospital setting were enrolled. Postoperative ACD (postACD) was performed with an SS-OCT device, an OLCR device, and a Scheimpflug device at least 1 month after cataract surgery. After adjusting the mean predicted error to 0, differences in refractive outcomes were calculated with the Olsen formula using actual postACD measured from 3 devices and predicted value. RESULTS Overall, this comparative case study included 69 eyes of 69 patients, and postACD measurements were successfully taken using all 3 devices. The postACD measured with the SS-OCT, OLCR, and Scheimpflug devices was 4.59 ± 0.30, 4.50 ± 0.30, and 4.54 ± 0.32 mm, respectively. Statistically significant differences in postACD were found among 3 devices (P < 0.001), with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman showing good agreement. No significant difference in median absolute error was found with the Olsen formula using actual postACD obtained with 3 devices. Percentage prediction errors were within ± 0.50 D in 65% (OLCR), 70% (Scheimpflug), and 67% (SS-OCT) calculated by actual postACD versus 64% by predicted value. CONCLUSION Substantial agreement was found in postACD measurements obtained from the SS-OCT, OLCR, and Scheimpflug devices, with a trend toward comparable refractive outcomes in the Olsen formula. Meanwhile, postACD measurements may be potentially superior for the additional enhancement of refractive outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the repeatability of biometric measures and also to assess the interactions between the uncertainties in these measures for use in an error propagation model, using data from a large patient cohort. METHODS In this cross-sectional non-randomised study we evaluated a dataset containing 3379 IOLMaster 700 biometric measurements taken prior to cataract surgery. Only complete scans with at least 3 successful measurements for each eye performed on the same day were considered. The mean (Mean) and standard deviations (SD) for each sequence of measurements were derived and analysed. Correlations between the uncertainties were assessed using Spearman rank correlations. RESULTS In the dataset with 677 eyes matching the inclusion criteria, the within subject standard deviation and repeatability for all parameters match previously published data. The SD of the axial length (AL) increased with the Mean AL, but there was no noticeable dependency of the SD of any of the other parameters on their corresponding Mean value. The SDs of the parameters are not independent of one another, and in particular we observe correlations between those for AL, anterior chamber depth, aqueous depth, lens thickness and corneal thickness. CONCLUSIONS The SD change over Mean for AL measurement and the correlations between the uncertainties of several biometric parameters mean that a simple Gaussian error propagation model cannot be used to derive the effect of biometric uncertainties on the predicted intraocular lens power and refraction after cataract surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the equivalent K-readings and total keratometry zones that is optimally suitable for calculating the IOL spheroequivalent according to 7 formulas. METHODS The study included 40 patients (40 eyes) who underwent uneventful femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and refractive lens exchange (RLE) with implantation of a trifocal diffractive IOL (PanOptix, Alcon inc.). Targeted emmetropia was achieved in all patients, no distance and near correction was needed. Retrospective IOL calculations were performed utilizing 7 formulas (SRK/T, Holladay 1 and 2, Haigis, Hoffer Q, Barrett Universal 2, Olsen) and Pentacam keratometry data: Holladay equivalent K-readings, total optical power by ray tracing (TCRP) centered on the apex and pupil in 10 zones (from 0.5 to 5 mm in 0.5 mm increments). For each formula/zone/map combination: postoperative predicted refraction (PPRs), mean absolute errors (MAEs), and median absolute errors (MedAEs) were analyzed. RESULTS According to EKR, the Haigis formula showed the lowest error in the central zones up to 3.5 mm, the TCRP zone for Holladay I and II formulas 4.0-4.5 mm, for HofferQ and SRK/T formulas 4.5-5.0 mm, and for Olsen and Barrett II Universal-5 mm. CONCLUSION The use of keratometry data (EKR, TCRP) in the formulas adapted to SimK, with the correct choice of the evaluation zone of keratometric data, will increase the chance of hitting the refractive target.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the interchangeability of different tomography devices used for ray tracing-based intraocular lens (IOL) calculation. SETTING Eye clinic, Castrop-Rauxel, Germany. DESIGN Retrospective analysis. METHOD Measurements from 3 Placido-Scheimpflug devices and 3 optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices were compared in 83 and 161 other eyes after cataract surgery, respectively. 2-dimensional matrices of anterior local corneal curvature and local corneal thickness are transferred to the ray-tracing software OKULIX. Calculations are performed with the same IOL in the same position of an eye with the same axial length. Differences in spherical equivalent (SE), astigmatism, and spherical aberration are evaluated. Furthermore, the influence of the size of the matrices (optical zone) on the accuracy is quantified. RESULTS For the Placido-Scheimpflug devices, the deviations from the average of three measurements taken for each eye in SE (mean ± SD) were 0.17 ± 0.24 diopters (D), -0.26 ± 0.29 D, and 0.08 ± 0.39 D ( P < .001, analysis of variance [ANOVA]), for the centroids of the astigmatic differences 0.04 D/173 degrees, 0.14 D/93 degrees, and 0.10 D/7 degrees, and for the median of the absolute values of the vector differences 0.31 D, 0.33 D, and 0.29 D. For OCT devices, the corresponding results were 0.01 ± 0.21 D, -0.03 ± 0.21 D, and 0.02 ± 0.20 D ( P = .005, ANOVA); 0.18 D/120 degrees, 0.07 D/70 degrees, and 0.22 D/4 degrees; and 0.26 D, 0.30 D, and 0.33 D. The accuracy of the calculated spherical aberrations allows for an individual selection of the best fitting IOL model in most cases. CONCLUSIONS The differences are small enough to make the devices interchangeable regarding astigmatism and spherical aberration. Although there are significant differences in SE between Scheimpflug and OCT devices, the differences between OCT devices are also small enough to make them interchangeable, but the differences between Placido-Scheimpflug devices are too large to make these devices interchangeable.

Abstract
With the progress in refractive cataract surgery, more intraocular lens (IOL) power formulas have been introduced with the aim of reducing the postoperative refractive error. The postoperative IOL position is critical to IOL power calculations. Therefore, the improvements in postoperative IOL position prediction will enable better selection of IOL power and postoperative refraction. In the past, the postoperative IOL position was mainly predicted by preoperative anterior segment parameters such as preoperative axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and corneal curvature. In recent years, some novel methods including the intraoperative ACD, crystalline lens geometry, and artificial intelligence (AI) of prediction of postoperative IOL position have been reported. This article attempts to give a review about the research progress on prediction of the postoperative IOL position.

Abstract
Purpose The primary objective was to investigate if subjects with dry eyes had increased variability of keratometry measurements prior to cataract surgery compared to subjects with non-dry eyes. Secondary objectives were to determine which separate signs affected keratometry. Patients and Methods This study was part of a prospective interventional randomized controlled trial. After dry eye diagnostics were performed (signs only) subjects were divided into sign of dry eye (SDE) positive and negative groups. To investigate variability, we performed two keratometry measurements for each subject with three different optical biometers: Anterion (OCT optical biometer), Eyestar (combined OCT and reflection-based optical biometer), and Lenstar (reflection based-optical biometer). Results One hundred and thirty-one subjects were available for analysis. The variability of astigmatism was significantly higher for subjects with hyperosmolarity compared to normal eyes for the Lenstar, as was the percentage of eyes with variability of astigmatism greater than 0.25 D. The percentage of eyes with variability of average K greater than 0.25 D was higher for subjects with non-invasive keratograph break-up time <10 seconds (NIKBUT positive) compared to normal eyes for the Lenstar. Conclusion Combined diagnostic criteria (signs only) showed no statistically significant differences for keratometry measurements between SDE positive and negative. Eyes with hyperosmolarity and NIKBUT positive showed statistically higher variability of keratometry measurements compared to normal eyes for Lenstar, but not for the Anterion or Eyestar biometers.

[PMID: 38256632 PMCID: PMC10816994 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13020498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The proper selection of an intraocular lens power calculation formula is an essential aspect of cataract surgery. This study evaluated the accuracy of artificial intelligence-based formulas. DESIGN Systematic review. METHODS This review comprises articles evaluating the exactness of artificial intelligence-based formulas published from 2017 to July 2023. The papers were identified by a literature search of various databases (Pubmed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, Crossref, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and SciELO) using the terms "IOL formulas", "FullMonte", "Ladas", "Hill-RBF", "PEARL-DGS", "Kane", "Karmona", "Hoffer QST", and "Nallasamy". In total, 25 peer-reviewed articles in English with the maximum sample and the largest number of compared formulas were examined. RESULTS The scores of the mean absolute error and percentage of patients within ±0.5 D and ±1.0 D were used to estimate the exactness of the formulas. In most studies the Kane formula obtained the smallest mean absolute error and the highest percentage of patients within ±0.5 D and ±1.0 D. Second place was typically achieved by the PEARL DGS formula. The limitations of the studies were also discussed. CONCLUSIONS Kane seems to be the most accurate artificial intelligence-based formula. PEARL DGS also gives very good results. Hoffer QST, Karmona, and Nallasamy are the newest, and need further evaluation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Predict intraocular lens position after cataract surgery using the IOL Master 700 and explore the associated ocular parameters compared with the results obtained from the anterior segment analysis system (Sirius, CSO Inc, Florence, Italy). METHODS A total of 98 patients (106 eyes) were included in the retrospective study. The postoperative intraocular lens position was obtained using the IOL Master 700 and measured using Adobe Illustrator software. Correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were applied to study the correlation between the actual position of the postoperative intraocular lens (ALP) and the ocular parameters. In addition, Bland-Altman consistency analysis was used to compare the consistency between any two among the predicted intraocular lens position (ALPi) obtained using IOL Master 700 biometry, the predicted artificial lens position (ALPs) calculated using the anterior segment analysis system, or the ALP. RESULTS Ocular parameters, including preoperative anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, axial length, white-to-white, and postoperative refractive error were all correlated with ALP after cataract surgery (P < 0.05) using univariate analysis. However, in multivariate linear regression, only the first three variables were correlated with ALP. Compared with the equation obtained by the anterior segment analysis, the equation from IOL Master 700 biometry provided a better fit. The results of the consistency analysis showed that ALP, ALPi, and ALPs were in good agreement. CONCLUSION IOL Master 700 biometry can help predict intraocular lens position after surgery, and its accuracy is better than that provided by the anterior segment analysis system.

Abstract
High-precision biometry and accurate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation have become essential components of cataract surgery. In clinical practice, IOL power calculation involves measuring parameters such as corneal power and axial length and then applying a power calculation formula. The importance of posterior corneal curvature in determining the true power of the cornea is increasingly being recognized, and newer investigative modalities that can estimate both the anterior and posterior corneal power are becoming the standard of care. Optical biometry, especially using swept-source biometers, with an accuracy of 0.01-0.02 mm, has become the state-of-the-art method in biometry. With the evolution of IOL formulas, the ultimate goal of achieving a given target refraction has also moved closer to accuracy. However, despite these technological efforts to standardize and calibrate methods of IOL power calculation, achieving a mean absolute error of zero for every patient undergoing cataract surgery may not be possible. This is due to inherent consistent bias and systematic errors in the measurement devices, IOL formulas, and the individual bias of the surgeon. Optimization and personalization of lens constants allow for the incorporation of these systematic errors as well as individual bias, thereby further improving IOL power prediction accuracy. Our review provides a comprehensive overview of parameters for accurate biometry, along with considerations to enhance IOL power prediction accuracy through optimization and personalization. We conducted a detailed search in PubMed and Google Scholar by using a combination of MeSH terms and specific keywords such as "ocular biometry," "IOL power calculations," "prediction accuracy of refractive outcome in cataract surgery," "effective lens position," "intraocular lens calculation formulas," and "optimization of A-constants" to find relevant literature. We identified and analyzed 121 relevant articles, and their findings were included.

Comparative Analysis of the Visual, Refractive and Aberrometric Outcome with the Use of 2 Intraocular Refractive Segment Multifocal Lenses. J Clin Med 2023; 13:239. [PMID: 38202246 PMCID: PMC10779799 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13010239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
To demonstrate the results of ray tracing higher- and lower-order aberrations in pseudophakic eyes with rotationally asymmetrical segment multifocal lenses, total high- and low-order aberrations, measured by root mean square value (RMS), refraction, uncorrected distance and uncorrected near visual acuity (UCDVA and UCNVA), and tear break-up time, were measured at scotopic size in 42 eyes of patients implanted with bifocal refractive Mplus15/Mplus30 IOL with +1.5 dpt near addition (42 eyes of patients implanted with Mplus15)/+3.0 dpt near addition (91 eyes of patients implanted with Mplus30), and 107 eyes of control group. No significant differences were noticed between the examined groups concerning UCDVA, UCNVA, and tear break-up time (p < 0.001). Coma and total high-order aberrations were significantly higher for the Mplus30 lens in comparison to the Mplus15 lens and the control group (Coma, Trefoil p < 0.001, Secondary Astigmatism p = 0.002). The spherical aberrations were significantly higher in the lower-addition lens (p = 0.016) in comparison to the control group and to the higher-addition lens group (p < 0.001). Both intraocular lens models were successful at reaching refractive aim, good distance, and near function with the lower higher-order aberrations for the low-addition lens.

Effect of Segmented Optical Axial Length on the Performance of New-Generation Intraocular Lens Power Calculation Formulas in Extremely Long Eyes. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6959. [PMID: 38002573 PMCID: PMC10672648 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12226959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the performance of traditional vergence formulas with segmented axial length (AL) compared to traditional composite AL in extremely long eyes, and to determine whether the segmented AL can be extended to the new-generation formulas, including the Barrett Universal II, Emmetropia Verifying Optical 2.0 (EVO2), Hill-RBF 3.0 (Hill3), Kane, and Ladas Super formula (LSF) formulas in extremely long eyes. SETTING National Hospital. Organization, Tokyo Medical Center, Japan. DESIGN Retrospective case series. METHODS Consecutive patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery implanted with a three-piece intraocular lens between December 2015 and March 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The composite AL was measured with a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometer using a mean refractive index. The segmented AL was calculated by summing the geometric lengths of the ocular segments (cornea, aqueous, lens, and vitreous) using multiple specific refractive indices based on the data obtained by the SS-OCT-based biometer. When refraction was measured at three months postoperatively, the median absolute errors (MedAEs) were calculated with two ALs for each formula. RESULTS The study included 31 eyes of 22 patients. The segmented AL (30.45 ± 1.23 mm) was significantly shorter than the composite AL (30.71 ± 1.28 mm, p < 0.001). The MedAEs were significantly reduced when using segmented AL for SRK/T, Haigis, Hill3, and LSF, compared to those obtained using composite AL (0.38 vs. 0.62, 0.48 vs. 0.79, 0.50 vs. 0.90, 0.34 vs. 0.61, p < 0.001 for all formulas, respectively). On the contrary, the MedAE obtained by Kane with segmented AL was significantly worse compared to the one with composite AL (0.35 vs. 0.27, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION In extremely high myopic eyes, the segmented AL improves the performance of SRK/T, Haigis, Hill3, and LSF formulas compared to the composite AL, while the segmented AL worsens the prediction accuracy of the Kane formula.

Abstract
Purpose To report on the visual outcomes of the second-generation (ActivShieldTM) Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) used in cataract surgery for patients with a history of laser refractive surgery (LASIK and/or photorefractive keratectomy [PRK]) using a co-managed, open-access methodology. Patients and Methods This retrospective case series of consecutive patients with history of laser refractive surgery implanted with the second-generation LAL with an emmetropic target were included in the study. Following surgery, all patients received their ultraviolet (UV) light treatments at a separate open-access facility through a co-managed arrangement. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), spherical equivalent (SE), and residual cylinder for eyes with an emmetropic refractive target were the primary outcome measures as documented at the patient's final, stable, refractive postoperative exam. Results Thirty-three patients (34 eyes) with a history of laser refractive surgery were included in the study and implanted with the second-generation LAL with a postoperative emmetropic refractive target. Twenty-eight (82.4%) saw 20/20 or better and 9 (26.5%) saw 20/15 or better. The mean SE was 0.01 ± 0.31 D and 33 (97.1%) were within ±0.50 D SE of plano. The mean residual cylinder was -0.28 ± 0.32 D and 30 (88.2%) were within ±0.50 D. Conclusion Use of the second-generation LAL was efficacious in cataract surgical patients with a history of LASIK and/or PRK using a co-managed, open-access methodology.

Abstract
The aim was to compare measurements of anterior segment biometry parameters using two Scheimpflug tomographies, Pentacam and Sirius to assess the agreement. Prospective cross-sectional observational study. A total of 60 eyes of 30 healthy subjects were included and evaluated with Pentacam followed by Sirius imaging. Corneal indices were performed with two modalities in both eyes including; apical corneal thickness (ACT), corneal thickness at pupil site(PCT), thinnest corneal thickness (TCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), chamber angle, chamber volume, cornea volume, mean front keratometry (FKm), the radius of corneal curvature at the anterior and posterior surface in steep and flat meridian, anterior astigmatism values, pupil diameter, and horizontal corneal diameter. The Bland-Altman graph and ICC (intra-class correlation were used to establish an agreement and present the similarity of the findings. Most parameters showed perfect agreement. In both devices, the ICC was more than 0.91 in all measurements except for ACD (ICC = 0.820), cylinder axis (ICC = 0.520), TCT(ICC = 0.881), ACT(ICC = 0.672), PCT (ICC = 0.882), chamber angle (ICC = 0.362), pupil diameter(ICC = 0.137). Pentacam yielded higher values that were significant in five parameters including 3.47 μm for TCT, 4.29 µm for PCT, 10.03 mm3 for chamber volume,2.67 mm3 for cornea volume, and 1.49 mm for pupil diameter but there was only a statistically significant difference in cornea volume and pupil diameter (p-value < 0.001). However, in Pentacam only the chamber angle value was 6.44 mm3 lower than Sirius, with a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.001). Although these two devices had some statistically different results, it seems that they have a good agreement and correlation in most parameters.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine (1) if measurements of surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) as measured by keratometry (K) and total keratometry (TK) differ (2) if SIA affects the magnitude and/or meridian of keratometric astigmatism (3) if SIA evolves over time. SETTING Tertiary care center. DESIGN Retrospective data analysis. METHODS A swept-source optical coherence tomography biometry dataset (IOLMaster700) consisting of 498 eyes (327 patients) from a tertiary care center was analyzed. For all eyes preoperative and postoperative biometric measurements at 1-month, 3-month, and 6-months postoperative visits were considered for vector analysis of SIA K and SIA TK . RESULTS Centroids in right and left eyes were 0.26 diopters (D) @5 degrees/0.31 D @1 degree for SIA K and 0.27 D @4 degrees/0.34 D @1 degree for SIA TK . Centroids for difference vectors K-TK in right and left eyes were 0.02 D @ 176 degrees/0.03 D @6 degrees. The mean SIA magnitudes in right and left eyes were 0.48 ± 0.41 D and 0.50 ± 0.37 D for SIA K and 0.53 ± 0.42 D and 0.54 ± 0.40 D for SIA TK . In eyes with ATR astigmatism, an increase in postoperative astigmatism magnitude was more common than a decrease. More than 30% of eyes showed changes in the meridian of more than 15 degrees. CONCLUSIONS Overall, we observed differences in K- and TK-derived SIA, and changes in SIA magnitude over time. For postsurgical interventions, postoperative astigmatism meridian values should be measured to base treatments. Astigmatism magnitude showed a tendency to decrease for steep-meridian incisions and to increase in flat-meridian incisions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the accuracy of modern intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in eyes with axial length (AL) ≥ 26.00 mm. METHODS A total of 193 eyes with one type of lens were analysed. An IOL Master 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) was used for optical biometry. Thirteen formulas and their modifications were evaluated: Barrett Universal II, Haigis, Hoffer QST, Holladay 1 MWK, Holladay 1 NLR, Holladay 2 NLR, Kane, Naeser 2, SRK/T, SRK/T MWK, T2, VRF and VRF-G. The User Group for Laser Interference Biometry lens constants were used for IOL power calculation. The mean prediction error (PE) and its standard deviation (SD), the median absolute error (MedAE), the mean absolute error (MAE) and the percentage of eyes with PEs within ± 0.25 D, ± 0.50 D and < ± 1.00 D were calculated. RESULTS The modern formulas (Barrett Universal II, Hoffer QST, Kane, Naeser 2 and VRF-G) produced the smallest MedAE among all methods (0.30 D, 0.30 D, 0.30 D, 0.29 D and 0.28 D, respectively). The percentage of eyes with a PE within ± 0.50 D ranged from 67.48% to 74.85% for SRK/T and Hoffer QST, Naeser 2 and VRF-G, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Dunn's post hoc test of the absolute errors revealed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) between some of the newer formulas (Naeser 2 and VRF-G) and the remaining ones. From a clinical perspective the Hoffer QST, Naeser 2 and VRF-G formulas were more accurate predictors of postoperative refraction with the largest proportion of eyes within ± 0.50 D.

[PMID: 37738056 PMCID: PMC10519433 DOI: 10.1167/tvst.12.9.16] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To identify risk factors of ocular anterior segment measurement error by the IOLMaster 700 in eyes implanted with an implantable Collamer lens (ICL). Methods In total, 152 patients with clear lens (152 eyes, group 1) and another 32 cataract patients (57 eyes, group 2) who underwent ICL implantation were included, and the presence of measurement error by the IOLMaster 700 was determined based on B-scan images. The risk factors for measurement error were evaluated by logistic regression, and the optimal threshold was determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Results The ICL was misidentified as the anterior surface of the crystalline lens in 51.97% of eyes (79/152) in group 1 and 80.70% of eyes (46/57) in group 2. For every 100-µm decrease in the vault height, a 3.57- and 5.78-fold increase in the risk of measurement error was observed in group 1 and group 2, respectively. We identified an optimal threshold of the vault height at 389.47 µm for predicting biometric measurement error in eyes implanted with ICL, which showed an area under the curve of 0.93 (95% confidence interval, 0.90-0.97), a sensitivity of 0.87, and a specificity of 0.86. Conclusions Patients with ICL implantation, particularly those with a vault height less than 389.47 µm, are at a greater risk of anterior segment biometric measurement error by the IOLMaster 700. Translational Relevance The threshold of vault height can help to identify high-risk patients and further optimize biometric measurement.

Yoon SH, Song JR, Lee SH, Eom Y, Hyon JY, Jeon HS. Actual anterior-posterior corneal radius ratio in eyes with prior myopic laser vision correction according to axial length. Sci Rep 2023; 13:14267. [PMID: 37652933 PMCID: PMC10471610 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-41062-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
We retrospectively evaluate the actual anterior-posterior (AP) corneal radius ratio in eyes with previous laser correction for myopia (M-LVC) according to axial length (AL) using biometry data exported from swept-source optical coherence tomography between January 2018 and October 2021 in a tertiary hospital (1018 eyes with a history of M-LVC and 19,841 control eyes). The AP ratio was significantly higher in the LVC group than in the control group. Further, it was significantly positively correlated with AL in the LVC group. We also investigated the impact of the AP ratio, AL and keratometry (K) on the absolute prediction error (APE) in 39 eyes that underwent cataract surgery after M-LVC. In linear regression analyses, there were significant correlations between APE and AL/TK, while APE and AP ratio had no correlation. The APE was significantly lower in the Barrett True-K with total keratometry (Barrett True-TK) than in the Haigis-L formula on eyes with AL above 26 mm and K between 38 and 40 D. In conclusion, in eyes with previous M-LVC, AP ratio increases with AL. The Barrett True-K or Barrett True-TK formulas are recommended rather than Haigis-L formula in M-LVC eyes with AL above 26 mm and K between 38 and 40D.

Efficacy of cataract surgeries performed during blindness prevention programs in Chongqing, China: a multicenter prospective study. BMC Ophthalmol 2023; 23:353. [PMID: 37563617 PMCID: PMC10413487 DOI: 10.1186/s12886-023-03082-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of cataract surgeries in blindness prevention programs in Chongqing. METHODS During February-December 2019, we prospectively enrolled 487 patients (592 eyes) undergoing cataract surgery during blindness prevention programs in 6 Chongqing district/county hospitals (experimental group) and 481 patients (609 eyes) undergoing cataract surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (controls). Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refractive status, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp examination, and visual function/quality of life (VF-QOL) questionnaire scores were evaluated preoperatively, and at 1 and 6 months postoperatively. RESULTS In the experimental group, UCVA, BCVA, and VF-QOL scores at 1 and 6 months were better than the preoperative values (P < 0.05), but lower than the control-group values (P < 0.05). Rates of good UCVA and BCVA outcomes (≤ 0.5 logMAR) in the experimental group were 76.2% and 87.6%, respectively, at 1 month and 68.9% and 83.1%, respectively, at 6 months. Most eyes in the experimental (82.1%) and control (89.5%) groups had refractive errors within ± 1 D at 1 month. At 6 months, posterior capsule opacification (PCO) was more common in the experimental group (20.9% vs. 15.0%, P < 0.05). At 6 months, the main causes of visual impairment (UCVA > 0.5 logMAR) in the experimental group were uncorrected refractive errors (33.0%), PCO (29.5%), and fundus diseases (33.9%). CONCLUSION Cataract surgeries in blindness prevention programs in Chongqing significantly improved visual acuity, VF, and QOL, but underperformed compared to surgeries in the tertiary teaching hospital.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy of various variations of new-generation multivariate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation using the Barrett Universal II, Castrop, Emmetropia Verifying Optical 2.0, Hill-Radial Basis Function 3.0, Kane, and PEARL-DGS formulas with and without optional biometric parameters. SETTING Tertiary care academic medical center. DESIGN Retrospective case series. Single-center study. METHODS Inclusion of patients after uneventful cataract surgery implanting AU00T0 IOLs. Data from one eye per patient were randomly included. Eyes with a corrected distance visual acuity worse than 0.1 logMAR were excluded. IOLCON-optimized constants were used for all formulas other than the Castrop formula. The outcome measures were prediction error (PE) and absolute prediction error (absPE) for the 6 study formulas. RESULTS 251 eyes from 251 patients were assessed. Excluding lens thickness led to statistically significant differences in absPE in several formulas. Leaving out horizontal corneal diameter did not impact absPE in several formulas. Differences in PE offset were observed between the various formula variations. CONCLUSIONS When using multivariate formulas with an A-constant, including certain optional parameters is vital for optimal refractive results. Formula variations excluding certain biometric parameters need specifically optimized constants and do not perform similarly when using the constant of the respective formula using all parameters.

Abstract
PURPOSE To introduce a method of predicting effective lens position (ELP) among congenital ectopia lentis (CEL) patients undergoing transscleral fixation of intraocular lens (IOL), and evaluate its effect on improving refractive outcome by utilizing the Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff / theoretical (SRK/T) formula. DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study. METHODS A training set (93 eyes) and validation set (25 eyes) was included. Z value as the distance between the iris plane and a hypothetic postoperative IOL position was introduced in this study. The Z-modified ELP consisted of corneal height (Ch) and Z (ELP = Ch + Z), and Ch was calculated by keratometry (Km) and white-to-white (WTW). The value of Z was identified by linear regression formula with the involvement of axial length (AL), Km, WTW, age, and gender. The comparison of mean (MAE) and mediate absolute error (MedAE) among Z-modified SRK/T formula, SRK/T, Holladay I, and Hoffer Q formula was performed to evaluate the performance of Z-modified SRK/T formula. RESULTS Z value was associated with AL, K, WTW, and age (Z = offset + 15.1093 × lg (AL) + 0.0953899 × Km - 0.3910268 × WTW + 0.0164197 × Age - 19.34804). The Z-modified ELP has good accuracy with no difference to back-calculated ELP. The accuracy of Z-modified SRK/T formula was better than other formulas (P < .001) as the MAE was 0.24 ± 0.19 diopter (D) and MedAE was 0.22 D (95% CI: 0.01-0.57 D). Sixty-four percent of eyes had a refractive error smaller than ±0.25 D, and none of the subjects had a prediction error greater than ±0.75 D. CONCLUSIONS ELP of CEL can be accurately predicted by AL, Km, WTW, and age. Z-modified SRK/T formula improved on the current formula by improving predicting accuracy of ELP and may serve as a promising formula for CEL patients with transscleral fixation of IOL.

Prediction of Posterior-to-Anterior Corneal Curvature Radii Ratio in Myopic Patients after LASIK, SMILE, and PRK Using Multivariate Regression Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:4536.

Abstract
The ratio of posterior-to-anterior curvature radii of the cornea (P/A ratio) is an important element in determining corneal refractive power. P/A ratio has been well studied in patients prior to undergoing refractive surgery, but its postoperative value remains less so. We aimed to examine the value of preoperative characteristics of refractive surgery patients in predicting the 1-year postoperative P/A ratio in LASIK, PRK, and SMILE using both linear and multivariate regression analyses. This was a retrospective study that included patients with manifest refraction spherical equivalents (MRSE) from -7.71D to -0.25D. In total, 164 eyes underwent LASIK, 183 underwent PRK, and 46 underwent SMILE. All patients had preoperative and 1-year postoperative front sagittal and back sagittal keratometry measurements at 4, 5, and 6 mm around the corneal vertex. Postoperative P/A after LASIK, PRK, and SMILE was found to be significantly correlated with MRSE and preoperative P/A. Stepwise variable selection in multivariate regression revealed that spherical equivalent was the most significant predictor of postoperative P/A. When coupled with other preoperative characteristics, including P/A, age, asphericity, and keratometry, the multivariate regressions were able to produce models with high predictive value in LASIK (adjusted R2: 0.957), PRK (adjusted R2: 0.934), and SMILE (adjusted R2: 0.894).

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the influence of pilocarpine eyedrops on the ocular biometric parameters and whether these parameter changes affect the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). Methods Twenty-two PACG patients and fifteen normal subjects were enrolled. Ocular biometric parameters including the axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), mean keratometry (Km), and white-to-white distance (WTW) were measured by using a Lenstar LS 900 device before and at least 30 minutes after instillation of 2% pilocarpine eyedrops. Lens position (LP) was calculated, and the IOL power prediction based on the ocular biometric parameters was performed using the Barrett Universal II, Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay I, or SRK/T formulas before and after pilocarpine application. Results In both PACG and normal groups, pilocarpine eyedrops induced a slight but statistically significant increase in the mean AL (0.01 mm for both groups) and mean LT (0.02 mm and 0.03 mm, respectively) but a significant decrease in the mean ACD (0.03 mm and 0.05 mm, respectively) and mean LP (0.02 mm and 0.04 mm, respectively). No significant changes in the mean Km and WTW were noticed in both groups. In addition, the IOL power calculation revealed insignificant changes before and after the pilocarpine instillation in both groups, regardless of the formula used. Conclusions Pilocarpine eyedrops can induce slight changes in the ocular biometric parameters including the AL, ACD, LT, and LP. However, these parameter changes will not result in a significant difference in IOL power estimation.

Abstract
PURPOSE In short eyes, to compare the predictive accuracy of newer intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas using traditional and segmented axial length (AL) measurements. SETTING Cullen Eye Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas and East Valley Ophthalmology, Mesa, Arizona. DESIGN Multi-center retrospective case series. METHODS Measurements from an optical biometer were collected in eyes with AL <22 mm. IOL power calculations were performed with 15 formulas using 2 AL values: (1) machine-reported traditional AL (Td-AL) and (2) segmented AL calculated with the Cooke-modified AL nomogram (CMAL). 1 AL method and 7 formulas were selected for pairwise analysis of mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square absolute error (RMSAE). RESULTS The study comprised 278 eyes. Compared with the Td-AL, the CMAL produced hyperopic shifts without differences in RMSAE. The ZEISS AI IOL Calculator (ZEISS AI), K6, Kane, Hill-RBF, Pearl-DGS, EVO, and Barrett Universal II (Barrett) formulas with Td-AL were compared pairwise. The ZEISS AI demonstrated smaller MAE and RMSAE than the Barrett, Pearl-DGS, and Kane. K6 had a smaller RMSAE than the Barrett formula. In 73 eyes with shallow anterior chamber depth, the ZEISS AI and Kane had a smaller RMSAE than the Barrett. CONCLUSIONS ZEISS AI outperformed Barrett, Pearl-DGS, and Kane. The K6 formula outperformed some formulas in selected parameters. Across all formulas, use of a segmented AL did not improve refractive predictions.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder characterized by loss of tear film homeostasis with associated ocular symptoms, like dryness, foreign body sensation, and inflammation. Numerous reports confirm an increase in dry eye symptoms after cataract surgery. DED also significantly disturbs preoperative biometric measurements, mainly by changes in keratometry measurements. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of DED on biometric measurements before cataract surgery and postoperative refractive errors. PubMed database was searched for keywords: cataract surgery, dry eye disease, refractive error, refractive outcomes, keratometry, and biometry. Four clinical studies evaluating the effect of DED on refractive errors were included. In all studies, biometry was performed before and after dry eye treatment, and the mean absolute error was compared. Various substances have been used to treat dry eye, such as cyclosporin A, liftitegrast, and loteprednol. The refractive error was significantly lower after treatment in all studies. The results unanimously indicate that refractive errors can be reduced by proper treatment of DED before cataract surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the repeatability and agreement between Scheimpflug-based corneal topographers, Scansys and Pentacam, in measuring ocular parameters in myopic eyes. SETTING Grade-A tertiary hospital in Beijing, China. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS The following measurements were performed in 204 subjects undergoing preoperative examinations for refractive surgery from the corneal curvature, astigmatism, corneal thickness, corneal volume, corneal asphericity, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and volume (ACV), and pupil diameters. Repeatability was determined using intraclass correlation coefficient with 95% CI, Cronbach α, coefficient of variation, within-subject SD, test-retest repeatability, and 1-way analysis of variance (1-way analysis of variance). The interdevice agreement was determined using paired t test and Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS Scansys showed good repeatability in the anterior and posterior corneal flattest meridian (Kf), steepest meridian (Ks), and mean (Km); axis of anterior corneal Ks; anterior corneal astigmatism; pupil central corneal thickness (CCT); CCT; corneal apex thickness; thinnest corneal thickness; corneal volume; photopic pupil diameter; ACD; and ACV. In the agreement study, Bland-Altman plots showed that 95% limit of agreement of corneal curvature, pupil CCT, corneal apex thickness, thinnest corneal thickness, and corneal volume generated by Scansys and Pentacam were narrow. There were no statistically significant differences in the anterior corneal Kf and Km. CONCLUSIONS Scansys showed good repeatability in measuring corneal curvature of anterior and posterior surfaces, anterior corneal astigmatism, corneal thickness, corneal volume, photopic pupil diameter, ACV, and ACD. Scansys and Pentacam can only be used interchangeably in measuring anterior corneal curvature.

Refractive Predictability and Biometry Agreement of a Combined Swept Source Optical Coherence and Reflectometry Biometer Compared to an Optical Low Coherence Reflectometry Biometer and an SS-OCT Biometer. Clin Ophthalmol 2023; 17:1439-1452. [PMID: 37251985 PMCID: PMC10216845 DOI: 10.2147/opth.s408685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the agreement of refractive predictability of a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometer, which uses segmental AL calculation, with another SS-OCT biometer, and an optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) biometer. The secondary objective was to describe the refractive outcomes, visual acuities, and the agreement of different preoperative biometric parameters. Patients and Methods The study was a retrospective one-arm study of refractive and visual outcomes after successful cataract surgery. Preoperative biometric data were collected with two different SS-OCT device (Argos, Alcon Laboratories and Anterion, Heidelberg Engineering) and an OLCR device (Lenstar 900, Haag-Streit). The Barrett Universal II formula was used to calculate IOL power for all three devices. Follow-up examination was 1-2 months after surgery. The main outcome measure, refractive prediction error (RPE), was calculated as the achieved postoperative refraction minus the predicted refraction for each device. Absolute error (AE) was calculated by reducing the mean error to zero. Results The study included 129 eyes of 129 patients. The mean RPE was 0.06, -0.14 and 0.17 D for the Argos, Anterion and Lenstar, respectively (p < 0.01). The Argos also had the lowest absolute RPE, while the Lenstar had the lowest median AE, but this was not statistically significant (p > 0.2). The percentages of eyes with RPE within ±0.5 was 76%, 71%, and 78% for the Argos, Anterion, and Lenstar, respectively. The percentages of eyes with AE within 0.5 D was 79%, 84%, and 82% for the Argos, Anterion and Lenstar, respectively. None of these percentages were statistically significantly different (p > 0.2). Conclusion All three biometers showed good refractive predictability with no statistically significant differences in AE or percentages of eyes within ± 0.5 D of RPE or AE. The lowest arithmetic RPE was found with the Argos biometer.

Abstract
To ascertain the theoretical impact of optical design variations of the intraocular lens (IOL) on the accuracy of IOL power formulas based on a single lens constant using a thick lens eye model. This impact was also simulated before and after optimization. We modeled 70 thick-lens pseudophakic eyes implanted with IOLs of symmetrical optical design and power comprised between 0.50 D and 35 D in 0.5-step increments. Modifications of the shape factor resulting in variations in the anterior and posterior radii of an IOL were made, keeping the central thickness and paraxial powers static. Geometry data from three IOL models were also used. Corresponding postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) were computed for different IOL powers and assimilated to a prediction error of the formula due to the sole change in optical design alone. Formula accuracy was studied before and after zeroization on a uniform and non-uniform realistic IOL power distribution. The impact of the incremental change in optic design variability depended on the IOL power. Design modifications theoretically induce an increase in the standard deviation (SD), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Square (RMS) of the error. The values of these parameters reduce dramatically after zeroization. While the variations in optical design can affect refractive outcomes, especially in short eyes, the zeroization of the mean error theoretically reduces the impact of the IOL's design and power on the accuracy of IOL power calculation.
