چکیده

Partial coherence interferometry (PCI) has an 8% to 22% failure rate for a variety of reasons such as mature cataract, inability to fixate secondary to macular degeneration, tremor, keratopathy, nystagmus, and vitreous hemorrhage. The new composite IOLMaster version 5 software has demonstrated a failure rate of 7.4%, primarily because of posterior subcapsular cataracts. Few studies of the efficacy of PCI in a teaching hospital setting have been done. We investigated the PCI failure rate with the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec) in a resident ophthalmology clinic at a Veterans Affairs hospital. After investigative review board approval was obtained, the biometric measurements of 147 consecutive patients (165 eyes) who had resident-performed cataract surgery from September 2007 to June 2008were examined. Thirty-nine patients (42 eyes) were excluded because of incomplete electronic medical records (EMRs). One hundred eight patients (123 eyes) met the inclusion criteria; 106 were men (98.1%). The mean age of the patients was 72.4 years (range 50 to 91 years). Forty-six eyes (37.4%) were documented
