Purpose: To compare preoperative methods for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power versus the intraoperative wavefront aberrometer in eyes with a history of refractive surgery.

Methods: A retrospective study of 46 eyes (33 patients) with previous refractive surgery that underwent subsequent cataract surgery was conducted. Suggested IOL power predicted by ORange intraoperative wavefront aberrometer (WaveTec Vision Systems, Inc., Aliso Viejo, CA) was compared to power predicted by the (1) SRK-T formula using keratometry and axial length measurements from the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA), (2) average central keratometry (Avg K) from corneal topography, and (3) average IOL power predicted by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) web site. No historical information was used for the calculations. IOL power required for emmetropia was back-calculated using manifest refraction and implanted IOL power after cataract surgery.

Results: Mean age was 60 ± 7.9 years. Fifteen percent had a history of myopic photorefractive keratectomy (n = 7), 57% myopic LASIK (n = 26), 13% hyperopic LASIK (n = 6), and 22% radial keratectomy (RK) (n = 10). In 37% of cases, ORange predicted IOL power to within ±0.50 diopters (D) of emmetropia, compared to 30% for IOLMaster keratometry, 26% for Avg K, and 17% for ASCRS web site. In eyes after myopic treatment, ORange, IOLMaster, Avg K, and ASCRS web site predicted within ±0.50 D of emmetropia in 39%, 27%, 24%, and 18%, respectively, and within ±1.0 D in 60%, 39%, 39%, and 51%, respectively. In eyes after RK, ORange, Avg K, and ASCRS web site predicted to within ±0.50 D of emmetropia in 14% and the IOLMaster in 43% cases.

Conclusions: Although the ORange most often predicted to within ±0.5 D of emmetropia, no method was able to achieve this accuracy more than 50% of the time. Predictions for eyes after RK were worse than for other types of refractive procedures.

Purpose: To investigate different measures for corneal astigmatism in the context of reconstructed corneal astigmatism (recCP) as required to correct the pseudophakic eye, and to derive prediction models to map measured corneal astigmatism to recCP.

Methods: Retrospective single centre study of 509 eyes of 509 cataract patients with monofocal (MX60P) IOL. Corneal power measured with the IOLMaster 700 keratometry (IOLMK), and Galilei G4 keratometry (GK), total corneal power (TCP2), and Alpin's integrated front (CorT) and total corneal power (CorTTP).

Objectives: This study compared the visual outcomes and optical quality of two monofocal, aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs; CT LUCIA 621P, Carl Zeiss Meditec; Eyhance ICB00, Johnson & Johnson Vision) by evaluating visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations 1 month post-cataract surgery.

Methods: In this retrospective, comparative study, 120 eyes (72 patients) that underwent cataract surgery with either CT LUCIA 621P (Lucia group) or Eyhance ICB00 (Eyhance group) implantation (60 eyes/group) were retrospectively investigated. Visual acuity at various distances and defocus curves were measured 1 month postoperatively.

Objective: This study investigates the refractive accuracy of eight intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in patients with postoperative refractive surprise after phacoemulsification. It aims to determine if a different formula could result in better refractive outcomes in these eyes.

Methods And Analysis: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients undergoing uncomplicated phacoemulsification as a sole procedure between March 2007 and September 2020 at the University of Washington by glaucoma subspecialists as part of a study investigating cataract surgery in normal eyes.

Purpose: This study evaluates the discrepancies between ACV measurements obtained from the Heidelberg Anterion and Zeiss IOLMaster 700 and investigates the significance of ACV and other ocular biometry parameters.

Patients And Methods: To investigate intraocular fluid circulation, a robust formula was developed for ACV measurement using the Zeiss IOLMaster 700. A pilot study was conducted to validate this formula, which relied on WTW, CCT, and ACD.
