Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the accuracy of various intraocular lens (IOL) formulas during the DMEK triple procedure for patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy and cataracts.
  • All examined formulas exhibited a mean hyperopic error, with the Haigis-L formula performing the best and Barrett Universal II performing the worst.
  • The presence of additional tomographic features of corneal edema correlated with increased mean hyperopic error, suggesting that these features can help predict calculation errors in IOL placement.

Purpose: To assess the refractive accuracy of eight intraocular lens (IOL) formulas in eyes that underwent combined phacovitrectomy.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of 59 eyes that underwent uncomplicated phacovitrectomy between 2017 and 2020 at the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute. Inclusion criteria were postoperative best corrected visual acuity of 20/40 or better within 6 months of surgery and IOL implantation in the capsular bag.

Purpose: Cataract surgery is the most common eye surgery. Appropriate optimization of intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulae can result in improved patient outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe a methodology of optimizing existing IOL formulae and develop hybrid formulae based on artificial intelligence (AI).

Purpose: To evaluate the refractive accuracy of current intraocular lens (IOL) formulas and propose a modification in calculation of corneal power in eyes undergoing combined cataract extraction and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Methods: Patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy undergoing uncomplicated combined cataract surgery and DMEK at a single institution were included.
