Purpose: To compare the accuracy of intraoperative wavefront aberrometry (ORA) and the Hill-radial basis function (RBF) formula with other formulas based on preoperative biometry in predicting residual refractive error after cataract surgery in eyes with axial myopia.
Setting: Private practice, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.
Design: Retrospective consecutive case series.
Methods: Eyes with an axial length (AL) greater than 25.0 mm had cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation. For each eye, the 1-center Wang-Koch AL-optimized Holladay 1 formula was used to select an IOL targeting emmetropia. Residual refractive error was predicted preoperatively using the SRK/T, Holladay 1 and 2, Barrett Universal II, and Hill-RBF formulas and intraoperatively using wavefront aberrometry. The postoperative refraction was compared with the preoperative and intraoperative predictions.
Results: The study comprised 37 patients (51 eyes). The mean numerical errors ± standard error associated with using the SRK/T, Holladay 1, AL-optimized Holladay 1, Holladay 2, Barrett Universal II, and Hill-RBF formulas and intraoperative wavefront aberrometry were 0.20 ± 0.06 diopters (D), 0.33 ± 0.06 D, -0.02 ± 0.06 D, 0.24 ± 0.06 D, 0.19 ± 0.06 D, 0.22 ± 0.06 D, and 0.056 ± 0.06 D, respectively (P < .001). The proportion of patients within ±0.5 D of the predicted error was 74.5%, 62.8%, 82.4%, 79.1%, 73.9%, 76.7%, and 80.4%, respectively (P = .090). Hyperopic outcomes occurred in 70.6%, 76.5%, 49.0%, 74.4%, 76.1%, 74.4%, and 45.1% of the eyes, respectively (P = .007).
Conclusions: Intraoperative wavefront aberrometry was better than all formulas based on preoperative biometry and as effective as the AL-optimized Holladay 1 formula in predicting residual refractive error and reducing hyperopic outcomes. The Hill-RBF formula's performance was similar to that of the fourth-generation formulas.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare non-corneal intraocular higher order aberrations (HOAs) in keratoconic and normal myopic eyes.
Methods: Eighty-eight keratoconic and 106 normal myopic eyes were examined using high-resolution (1) pyramidal ocular wavefront sensor PERAMIS (designed by CSO for SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH) and (2) anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) MS-39 (CSO). Intraocular HOAs were calculated by subtracting the total corneal aberrations measured by the AS-OCT from the total ocular aberrations measured by the pyramidal aberrometer.

Purpose: Low concentration atropine is an effective treatment to slow myopia progression and axial elongation and also reduces accommodation. On-axis ocular dimensions of the eye change during accommodation; hence, this study aimed to quantify the effect of 0.025% atropine eye drops on accommodation-induced changes in ocular biometry.

Background: During accommodation, the eye undergoes significant structural changes, altering wavefront aberrations. So, this study aimed to evaluate changes in Zernike coefficients up to the 6th order with different accommodation demands and ages in a large cohort of young adults, considering the decrease in pupil size with the accommodation.
Methods: Aberrometric measurements for 210 healthy subjects aged 18-40 were performed with the irx3 (Imagine Eyes, Orsay, France), stimulating accommodation with the Badal system of the instrument, from 0 to 5 D.

Aim: This study aimed to quantify the internal, corneal and total higher order aberrations (HOAs) in the healthy human eye using ray tracing technology in bright and dim light conditions. The study also aimed to evaluate the retinal image quality and contrast modulation at different spatial frequencies, objectively using image-quality metrics derived from wavefront aberrations.
Methodology: A cross-sectional prospective observational study was conducted on 521 emmetropic young adults.

The purpose of this study was to use wavefront sensing as an objective method to detect and assess dynamic accommodation in subjects with accommodative dysfunctions and symptoms related to near-vision tasks. Sixty-three subjects were divided into control (N = 18), symptomatic without any accommodative dysfunction (SWD) (N = 18), infacility of accommodation (INFA) (N = 6), excess of accommodation (EA) (N = 9), and insufficiency of accommodation (INSA) (N = 12) groups. Accommodation was stimulated in different cycles of accommodation and disaccommodation while ocular aberrations were measured.
