ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the agreement of biometric parameters measured by the ANTERION and IOLMaster700 devices in a Brazilian population, considering statistical differences and their clinical relevance. Methods: A retrospective comparative study included cataract patients who underwent biometric examination with ANTERION and IOLMaster700 between September and December 2023. The parameters evaluated were anterior keratometry, axial length, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, white-to-white diameter, and lens thickness. Agreement and correlation were assessed using Bland-Altman and scatter plots. Results: A total […]

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate intraocular lens power calculation and postoperative refractive errors in patients with high myopia undergoing cataract surgery, comparing predicted target refraction and actual postoperative refraction measured 30 days after surgery with SRK/T formula. Methods This retrospective analysis comprised 39 eyes of 31 patients undergoing cataract surgery through phacoemulsification with in-the-bag IOL implantation. Axial length was measured by partial coherence interferometry or immersion ultrasound biometry, with measurements greater than 26 mm and preoperative myopia greater than -6.0 D […]

ABSTRACT The accuracy of the intraocular lens calculation is not perfect, and postoperative refractive errors are common, especially in patients who have undergone previous refractive surgery or in presence of asymmetric corneas. Corneal power after refractive surgery can be more accurately measured using the total optical power map in the 4-mm central zone, by means of Orbscan II or equivalent keratometric reading map available on pentacam, with central measurements of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.5 mm. The purpose of this […]

ABSTRACT Objective To compare the performance of Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraft/Theoretical, Hoffer Q, Barrett Universal II, Kane, and Hill-radial basis function formulas to calculate intraocular lens power in eyes with normal axial length, in terms of predicting target refraction by using partial coherence interferometry technology. Methods Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were performed in 135 eyes of 135 patients with an axial length between 22 and 24.5 mm. Axial length, keratometry, and anterior chamber depth were measured by intraocular lens Master 500. Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraft/Theoretical, […]

Abstract Objective: Observe the agreement between IOL Master 500 and Pentacam AXL and describe the averages. Methods: We analyzed 35 medical records, totaling 61 eyes. All patients underwent biometric evaluation on both devices from August 2018 to August 2019. The data collected were: age, gender, anterior chamber depth, axial length, K1, K2, biometrics and IOL target. Results: The averages of the variables analyzed between the optical biometric devices in question had a statistically significant difference (p

Objective: To evaluate the correlation of optical biometry and target with variable ages, anterior chamber depth, axial length, R1/K1 and R2/K2 established by two optical biometry devices in patients with cataract. Methods: The study included the analysis of 348 medical records, from which 503 cataract eyes were selected, which underwent evaluation by the optical biometric devices IOL Master 700 and Lenstar LS 900 in the period of April to July 2017. Data collected were: age, anterior chamber depth, axial length, […]

Objective: To assess ocular biometric parameters by optical biometry and to observe a possible spherical refractive difference, as well as its variation based on estimated preoperative calculation and the spherical refraction post cataract surgery by phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implant (IOL). Methods: After reviewing 252 electronic medical records between 2013 and 2014, 117 adult patients (189 eyes) were selected.The patients underwent phacoemulsification with foldable IOL implantation by the same surgeon and were examined by IOLMaster® 500.The IOL power was calculated […]

OBJECTIVE: To analyze refractive results in postoperative cataract surgery in eyes previously submitted to keratotomy using Haigis formula and data provided by IOL Master®optical biometer. METHODS: The measurements for IOL calculation were obtained through optical biometry by partial coherence interferometry (IOL Master®– Zeiss, 5.4 and 5.5 version) that provides us with the axial length, the central keratometry of 2.5mm, white-to-white diameter and anterior chamber anatomical depth. The formula chosen was Haigis. The surgical technique applied was with the scleral incision […]
