Background: To evaluate the accuracy of biometric measurements by a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) based biometry for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.
Methods: This retrospective observational study enrolled 431 patients undergoing cataract surgery. The charts were reviewed to investigate the failure rate of axial length (AL) measurement of the SS-OCT biometer, partial coherence interferometry (PCI), and A-scan ultrasonography (US) according to cataract type and severity. AL and keratometry in 164 eyes with the same IOL inserted were measured using the SS-OCT biometer, PCI, and A-scan US. The SRK/T formula was used to calculate IOL power. The mean absolute error (MAE) and percentage of eyes with a prediction error (PE) of ±0.50 D were compared.
Results: The AL measurement failure rate was 0.00% for A-scan US, 2.32% for the SS-OCT biometer, and 15.31% for PCI. The number of eyes measured using three devices (SS-OCT biometer, PCI, and A-scan US) was 128 (Group A) and the number of eyes measured using two devices (SS-OCT biometer and A-scan US) was 36 (Group B). The score of posterior subcapsular opacity was significantly different between two groups (p < .001). The SS-OCT biometer and PCI showed significantly lower MAE compared to A-scan US in Group A (p = 0.027). Using SS-OCT biometer, MAE showed no significant difference between Group A (0.36 ± 0.27) and Group B (0.36 ± 0.31) (p = 0.785). Whereas, MAE of A-scan US was significantly higher than Group A (0.47 ± 0.39) in Group B (0.64 ± 0.36) (p = 0.023).
Conclusions: Using biometry with advanced OCT is useful in clinical practice as it is more effective in obtaining biometric measurements in the eyes with PSC and provides accurate measurements for IOL power calculation regardless of cataract type and severity.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the results of preoperative biometric data measured with optical biometers of different generations in patients with cataract. Lenstar optical biometry is based on the principle of optical low-coherence reflectometry (OLCR), and Anterion on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Material And Methods: A total of 200 eyes (103 patients) were included in a prospective study at the Faculty Hospital in Trenčín the period from June 2023 to January 2024.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the accuracy and precision of two devices, Argos and Eyestar 900, for measuring axial length in cataract surgery patients in Barcelona, analyzing factors like agreement and repeatability.
- - A total of 107 patients (average age 73) were evaluated, showing a negligible median difference in measurements (only -0.01 mm) and very high agreement (96.1% of eyes within ±0.50 D).
- - Despite small differences in measurements, Argos and Eyestar 900 are not interchangeable for very long or short eyes due to their distinct methodologies for calculating axial length.

With the advancements in ocular biometric technology, there have been significant improvements in accurately and efficiently measuring ocular parameters. The aim of this study is to compare the reliability of biometric parameters obtained using a new frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) biometer with the measurements obtained from swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) and optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) biometers. This study employed an observational cross-sectional design.

Background: Swept-source optical coherence tomography-based (SS-OCT) biometers have been used in different clinical studies with the aim of assessing the accuracy of the technique, specifically in eyes with dense cataracts. Our objective is to evaluate the axial length acquisition success rates and agreement of two SS-OCT biometers when measuring axial length and biometric parameters in eyes with dense cataracts.
Methods: 46 eyes (46 patients) with dense cataracts (LOCS III grade ≥ 4) were measured 3 consecutive times using the Eyestar 900 and Argos SS-OCT biometers.
