OBJECTIVE Revision of methods for estimating corneal power (Kpost) and effective lens position (ELP) for cataract surgery after corneal refractive surgery. METHODS Review of medical literature. RESULTS To calculate the intraocular lens that achieves emetropia after corneal refractive surgery it is necessary to correct the Kpost and to estimate the effective lens position again correcting it...

Purpose. To evaluate and compare the accuracy of different intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas for eyes with an axial length (AL) greater than 26.00 mm. Methods. This study reviewed 407 eyes of 219 patients with AL longer than 26.0 mm. The refractive prediction errors of IOL power calculation formulas (SRK/T, Haigis, Holladay, Hoffer Q, and Barrett Universal II) using User Group f...

Cataract surgery is a technique described since recorded history, yet it has greatly evolved only in the latter half of the past century. The development of the intraocular lens and phacoemulsification as a technique for cataract removal could be considered as the two most significant strides that have been made in this surgical field. This review takes a comprehensive look at all aspects of ca...

The ability to obtain accurate measurement of ocular biometric dimensions, such as axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and crystalline lens thickness (LT), is essential in many clinical and research applications. For example, AL is used clinically for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation prior to cataract and refractive surgery1 and to diagnose ocular conditions such as staphylo...

Refractive outcomes following cataract surgery in patients that have previously undergone laser refractive surgery have traditionally been underwhelming. This is related to several key issues including the preoperative assessment (keratometry) and intraocular lens power calculations. Peer-reviewed literature is overwhelmed by the influx of methodology to manipulate the corneal or intraocular le...

PURPOSE To analyze the accuracy of the Holladay 2 formula, which has been proposed as an improvement over the original Holladay formula. METHODS This retrospective analysis comprised 317 eyes operated on by 1 surgeon using 1 technique and 1 intraocular lens style in a specialty practice. Because the Holladay 2 formula has yet to be published, its accuracy can only be analyzed using the commer...
