Abstract
PURPOSE
To investigate the accuracy of biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation using partial coherence interferometry (IOL Master(R)) in highly myopic patients with axial lengths of 26 mm or greater. METHODS: Patients with axial lengths equal to or greater than 26 mm who had undergone cataract surgery were enrolled. IOL power was calculated using IOL Master and/or applanation ultrasonography with the SRK/T formula. Twenty-seven eyes using both IOL Master and applanation ultrasonography were included in a paired group, and forty-eight eyes using the IOL Master only and twenty-five eyes using applanation ultrasonography only were included in unpaired groups. The differences between the predicted refraction and the actual refraction were compared and analyzed. RESULTS: In the paired study, the axial lengths in patients using IOL Master (29.14+/-2.32 mm) were significantly longer than those of patients using applanation ultrasonography (28.57+/-2.23 mm) (p<0.05). The mean absolute error (MAE) of the IOL Master and applanation ultrasonography groups were 0.62+/-0.58D and 0.87+/-0.49D, respectively (p>0.05). In the unpaired study, the MAEs of the IOL Master and applanation ultrasonography groups were 0.61+/-0.61D and 0.65+/-0.63D, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In eyes with axial lengths of 26.0 mm or greater, the accuracy of IOL power calculation with IOL Master using the SRK/T formula was comparable to that with applanation ultrasonography.
