Purpose: To investigate the changes in ocular biometry over time and their impact on intraocular lens (IOL) calculation in adult Korean patients with cataracts.
Methods: Inclusion criteria were patients who underwent two consecutive ocular biometric measurements spaced more than one year apart using the IOLMaster 700 between November 2019 and February 2024 at a tertiary hospital in Seoul, Korea. Longitudinal changes in ocular biometry were evaluated. Predictive errors were compared among patients who underwent cataract surgery using the SRK/T, Kane, Barrett Universal II, Cook K6, EVO, Hill-RBF, Hoffer QST, and Pearl DGS formulas.
Results: A total of 448 eyes from 448 patients were included. Ocular biometry measured over an average interval of 23.4 months showed that with increasing age, axial length elongated (0.04 ± 0.10 mm, p < 0.001), and the magnitude of total corneal astigmatism increased (0.04 ± 0.39 D, p = 0.018). The mean absolute predictive errors of the final measurements were significantly smaller compared to the initial measurements in the Barrett Universal II, EVO, Kane, and Pearl DGS formulas (difference of -0.05 D, -0.05 D, -0.06 D, and - 0.05 D, respectively). In the subgroup of eyes with an axial length of 25 mm or longer, the final measurements showed even greater reduction in mean absolute predictive errors across multiple formulas, including Barrett Universal II, Cook K6, EVO, Hill-RBF, Hoffer QST, Kane, and Pearl DGS, with reductions of -0.11 D, -0.11 D, -0.10 D, -0.08 D, -0.10 D, -0.09 D and - 0.10 D, respectively.
Conclusions: Axial length increases and corneal curvature changes with aging. IOLMaster 700 ocular biometry results measured closer to the date of surgery were more accurate in IOL power calculation than those measured more than one year earlier, with the greatest improvement observed in myopic eyes. Therefore, it is recommended to repeat IOLMaster 700 biometry before surgery if the previous measurements were taken more than a year ago.

Purpose: To compare the Lenstar LS 900 (Haag-Streit AG) and the Nidek AL-Scan (Nidek Co) optical biometry devices in intraocular lens (IOL) calculation and refractive error prediction in cases with uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery.
Methods: In this study, axial length (AL), flat (K1), and steep (K2) axis, and the average (K-avg) keratometry values measured with the Lenstar LS 900 and the Nidek AL-Scan in patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification and the mean absolute error (MAE) of both devices were compared.
Results: One hundred five eyes of 105 patients were examined.

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.

Purpose: To examine the associations of sleep parameters and their trajectories at preschool age with myopia among school-aged children by using a birth cohort study design.
Patients And Methods: All participants were recruited from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study. Sleep duration, sleep habits, and social jetlag were collected in 4 years, 5.
Sex differences in caloric nystagmus intensity: Should reference values be updated?

Bithermal caloric irrigation of the horizontal semicircular canals is a key method of neurotological diagnostics, allowing the detection of peripheral vestibular hypofunction in the low-frequency range. Current diagnostic criteria for unilateral vestibulopathy (UVP), bilateral vestibulopathy (BVP), and presbyvestibulopathy (PVP) rely on gender-neutral absolute or relative metrics. Here, we analyzed all bithermal water caloric examinations performed in the German Center for Vertigo and Balance Disorders (DSGZ) between 07/2018 and 01/2024 and calculated the total caloric reactivity (TR).

Purpose: This prospective and comparative study assesses the agreement of anterior, posterior, and total corneal astigmatism measurements between swept-source optical coherence tomography (Anterion) and Scheimpflug cameras, Placido disc, and OCT-based tomography (Galilei G6).
Methods: A total of 59 eyes of 59 patients were assessed using two optical biometers. Anterior, posterior, and total keratometry measurements were obtained, and flat (K1), steep (K2), astigmatic power, and J vectors (J and J) were compared.
