Abstract
PURPOSE The study assesses the influence of gender on the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation by formulas SRK/T, Barrett Universal II (BUII), Ladas super formula (LSF), Hill RBF (RBF) and Kane. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study enrolled 214 patients (106 men and 108 women) who underwent cataract phacoemulsification (PE). Optical biometry was performed on IOL-Master 500. IOL power calculation was performed either adjusting for gender (formulas SRK/T, BUII, LSF) or without such adjustment (formulas RBF, Kane). Calculation error (CE) was assessed one month after PE by comparing the achieved (autorefractometer Topcon-8800) and target spherical equivalent of refraction. RESULTS Significant differences were found in mean IOL CE with gender-unspecific formulas (SRK/T, BUII, LSF) and no differences in gender-specific calculators (RBF, Kane). The Kane formula demonstrated the lowest CE between men and women (-0.01±0.43 versus -0.09±0.41 D; p=0.158), while the SRK/T formula had the highest CE (0.02±0.46 versus -0.21±0.44 D, respectively; p<0.001). Presence of a significant correlation between CE and gender was found for all formulas except Kane (R2=0.005, p=0.158). CONCLUSION Patient's gender has a significant impact on IOL calculation accuracy. Using gender-responsive formulas could help achieve better refractive results with PE. The present study showed Kane formula to have the least CE dependence from gender. However, the CE difference (less than 0.25 D) was lower than the value of division (0.5D) in modern IOL models.

Am J Ophthalmol 2023; 245:44-60. [PMID: 36084683 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajo.2022.08.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Revised: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/14/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze Abulafia-Koch regression (AKRT), anterior and posterior astigmatism (K and TK), and evaluate biometry data in a large population. DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study. METHODS This multicenter (2 tertiary care centers) study analyzed datasets acquired between 2017 and 2020. Axial length (AL), corneal front and back radii (including meridians for K and TK conversion), horizontal corneal diameter, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and central corneal thickness were measured using telecentric keratometry and swept-source optical coherence tomography-based biometry (IOLMaster 700; Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). Cooke-modified axial length (CMAL) and AKRT were calculated. Difference vectors between K and TK astigmatism and between AKRT and TK astigmatism were compared. RESULTS A total of 10,300 eyes from 6388 patients were assessed. Difference vectors for K and TK were significantly smaller than for AKRT and TK. K measurement showed a configuration of 51.49% of with-the-rule astigmatism and 30.51% against-the-rule astigmatism, TK measurement showed a configuration of 41.60% of with-the-rule astigmatism and 40.21% against-the-rule astigmatism. Mean total astigmatism was -0.94 ± 0.74 dpt. Mean values for AL and CMAL were 23.70 ± 1.39 mm and 23.70 ± 1.34 mm, respectively. Anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, horizontal corneal diameter, AL, and age were all correlated with each other. CONCLUSION Astigmatism analysis showed less difference between K and TK than between AKRT and TK. There were significantly fewer eyes with with-the-rule astigmatism and more eyes with against-the-rule astigmatism configuration in TK-derived than in K-derived keratometry. The study provides data on gender and generational differences in biometry. Significant intersexual differences in AL and CMAL were observed, with CMAL providing lower standard deviation compared with AL.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate gender differences in optical biometry measurements and lens power calculations. Methods Eight thousand four hundred thirty-one eyes of five thousand five hundred nineteen patients who underwent cataract surgery at University of Michigan’s Kellogg Eye Center were included in this retrospective study. Data including age, gender, optical biometry, postoperative refraction, implanted intraocular lens (IOL) power, and IOL formula refraction predictions were gathered and/or calculated utilizing the Sight Outcomes Research Collaborative (SOURCE) database and analyzed. Results There was a statistical difference between every optical biometry measure between genders. Despite lens constant optimization, mean signed prediction errors (SPEs) of modern IOL formulas differed significantly between genders, with predictions skewed more hyperopic for males and myopic for females for all 5 of the modern IOL formulas tested. Optimization of lens constants by gender significantly decreased prediction error for 2 of the 5 modern IOL formulas tested. Conclusions Gender was found to be an independent predictor of refraction prediction error for all 5 formulas studied. Optimization of lens constants by gender can decrease refraction prediction error for certain modern IOL formulas.
