Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of 12 intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations: Barrett Universal II, EVO, Haigis, Hill-RBF version 2.0, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, Holladay 2, Kane, Olsen, SRK/T, Super Formula and T2.
Methods: In this retrospective consecutive case series, cataract extraction and IOL implantation cases in Toronto, Canada, were recruited between 2017 and 2019. Refractive predictions were compared to the observed 1-month postoperative spherical equivalent to determine the refractive error for each formula cohort. Subgroup analysis stratified eyes into short (≤ 22.5 mm)-, intermediate (22.5 mm-25.5 mm)- and long (≥ 25.5 mm)-axial length (AL) cohorts. The primary outcome was the percentage of cases within ± 0.50D of refractive error.
Results: Overall, 764 cataract cases were analyzed. Formulas with the highest percentage of eyes within ± 0.50D of refractive error, in decreasing order, were: Kane (77.7%), Barrett Universal II (77.4%), EVO (76.6%), T2 (76.4%), Super (75.9%), Holladay 1 (75.4%), Hill-RBF 2.0 (74.7%), SRK/T (72.6%), Hoffer Q (72.5%), Haigis (71.7%), Olsen (67.4%) and Holladay 2 (67.3%). For short-AL eyes, the Holladay 1 formula was most accurate (n = 69, 78.3% within ± 0.50D), and for long-AL eyes, the Barrett Universal II formula was most accurate (n = 116, 76.7% within ± 0.50D). Kane, Barrett, EVO, T2 and Super formulas led to a significantly lower mean absolute error compared to the open-source calculations with optimized lens constants (p-value: < 0.001-0.042).
Conclusions: The Kane formula was the most accurate formula for the overall analysis. The Holladay 1 calculation was most accurate for short-AL cases, whereas the Barrett Universal II was superior for long-AL eyes.

Application of the Taylor Diagram in Evaluating the Performance of IOL Formulas.
J Refract Surg
January 2025
Purpose: To apply a new method, the Taylor Diagram, and a new concept, the centered root mean square error (cRMSE), in evaluating the performance of IOL formulas.
Methods: The preoperative biometrics were measured with the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec) and the postoperative spherical equivalent refraction (SER) was calculated in 888 anonymous patients. The Taylor Diagram was applied to visualize the centered root mean square error (cRMSE) and the correlation coefficient between the predictions and the observations (R).

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of a new FDA approved toric aspheric hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lens.
Patients And Methods: This is a single surgeon, single-arm, on-label, non-randomized, prospective observational study. Thirty patients underwent bilateral cataract surgery (60 eyes) with placement of a Clareon™ Toric IOL in each eye.
Comparison of Intraocular Lens Formulas in Patients With Postoperative Refractive Surprise.

Ophthalmology, University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
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.
Comparison of ocular biometry and refractive outcomes using two swept-source optical coherence tomography-based biometers.

Department of Ophthalmology, Samsung Medical Center School of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: To evaluate the ocular biometry agreement and prediction of postoperative refractive outcomes obtained using two swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometers: Anterion (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) and Argos (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA).
Methods: Ambispective analysis was conducted on 105 eyes at the Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Republic of Korea, between June 2021 and March 2022. Biometric values were assessed using both devices before cataract surgery.
Comparative Analysis of Effective Lens Position and Refractive Outcomes in Scleral-Fixated versus Intracapsular Intraocular Lenses.
Clin Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Visual and Anatomical Sciences, Kresge Eye Institute/Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate the outcomes of scleral-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) implanted using either Yamane technique or Gore-Tex suture fixation, in comparison to intracapsular lens fixation, and to assess the efficacy of various lens formulas in achieving predicted refractive targets.
Patients And Methods: This study included 45 eyes from 44 patients with scleral-fixated IOLs, comprising 37 Yamane eyes and 8 Gore-Tex eyes. Preoperative refractive predictions from various formulae were compared with final postoperative refraction.
