Accuracy of partial coherence interferometry in patients with large inter-eye axial length difference.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To determine accuracy of partial coherence interferometry (PCI) in patients with large inter-eye axial eye length (AEL) difference.

Methods

Patients undergoing cataract surgery at two academic medical centers with an inter-eye axial eye length (AEL) difference of > 0.30 mm were identified and were matched to control patients without inter-eye AEL difference > 0.30 mm on the basis of age, sex, and AEL. The expected post-operative refraction for the implanted IOL was calculated using SRK/T, Holladay II, and Hoffer Q formulae. The main outcome measures were the refractive prediction error and the equivalence of the refractive outcomes between the subjects and controls.

Results

Review of 2212 eyes from 1617 patients found 131 eyes of 93 patients which met inclu
