Comparisons of Using Cycloplegic Biometry Versus Non-cycloplegic Biometry in the Calculation of the Cycloplegic Refractive Lens Powers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study investigated the difference between the calculation of cycloplegic crystalline lens power (LP) using non-cycloplegic and cycloplegic biometry data in children, and associated factors were explored.

Methods

A total of 821 children were enrolled and only right eye was analyzed. The corneal radii (CR), corneal power (CP), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and axial length (AL) before and after cycloplegia were obtained using IOLMaster 700. Anterior segment length (ASL) was defined as ACD plus LT. The cycloplegic LP was calculated with Bennett's formula. In addition, LP calculated with cycloplegic data was defined as cLP, otherwise it was defined as nLP. The ΔLP (defined as the value as cLP minus nLP) was compared among age, gender, and r
