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. AL was measured shorter with the Lenstar LS 900 than with the Nidek AL-Scan, and K1, K2, and K-avg were measured steeper ( < .001 for all). Although there was no proportional bias in the AL, K1, and K-avg measurements of the Lenstar LS 900 and the Nidek AL-Scan devices ( = .83, .96, and .41 respectively), there was a proportional bias in the K2 measurements ( < .001, = 0.128). MAE was significantly higher in the Lenstar LS 900 (0.74 ± 0.6 D) than in the Nidek AL-Scan (0.64 ± 0.60 D) ( < .001). The percentage of eyes with a prediction error within the range of ±0.50 D was significantly higher with the Nidek AL-Scan (61%) than with the Lenstar LS 900 (49.5%) ( = .008).
Conclusions: The Nidek AL-Scan produced more predictable outcomes than the Lenstar LS 900 in selecting IOL power. Despite the clinical similarity between AL, K1, and K-avg readings, there may be notable differences in choosing the IOL power between these two devices. .

Background: Vitreous chamber volume (VCV) in humans can be accurately measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with ITK-SNAP analysis software. This study explores the relationship between VCV and axial length (AL).
Methods: This study included 46 healthy individuals, encompassing a total of 92 eyes.
Longitudinal development of ocular biometric components and refractive error in hyperopic children with infantile versus late-onset accommodative esotropia.
Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
February 2025
Retina Foundation of the Southwest, Dallas, Texas, USA.
Purpose: To examine the developmental patterns of refractive error and optical components in hyperopic children with infantile (onset ≤12 months of age) accommodative or late-onset (18-48 months of age) accommodative esotropia.
Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included children with infantile (n = 34) or late-onset (n = 63) accommodative esotropia. Axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT) and keratometry (K1, K2) were obtained with a Lenstar LS 900.
The challenges of diagnosing glaucoma in myopic cases and the important role of Bruch's membrane opening-minimum rim width in the diagnosis of myopic glaucoma.
Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther
February 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Health Sciences Ankara City Hospital, Ankara, Turkey.
Background: Glaucoma is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that can lead to blindness; furthermore, axial myopia is associated with retinal and optic nerve changes that mimic glaucoma. Diagnosing glaucoma in myopic eyes is challenging due to anatomical variations, emphasizing the need for precise OCT-based evaluations.
Objective: To evaluate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and Bruch's Membrane Opening-Minimum Rim Width (BMO-MRW) parameters in myopic patients with and without glaucoma by using Spectralis® optical coherence tomography (OCT), in order to reveal the relationship between axial length (AL) and OCT parameters and also to determine the OCT parameters that should be considered when diagnosing glaucoma in myopic cases.
Evaluation of Ocular Parameters in Newly Diagnosed Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Children With Eye-Rubbing Compulsion.
Clin Pediatr (Phila)
December 2024
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Rize Training and Research Hospital, Merkez/Rize, Turkey.
Purpose: To determine the ocular structural changes in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) children with eye-rubbing compulsion.
Methods: Participants recruited at the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic were evaluated for the OCD diagnosis. All patients underwent imaging with Scheimpflug corneal topography (Sirius, CSO, Italy), Tomey EM-4000 specular microscopy (Nagoya, Japan), and Lenstar LS 900 (Haag-Streit AG, Switzerland) optical biometry.
