Abstract
Objectives: To compare the refractive prediction accuracy of contemporary intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) biometry in cataract surgery with capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation, and to assess for systematic postoperative refractive tendencies.
Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 98 eyes of 92 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with in-the-bag IOL and CTR implantation. Preoperative biometry utilized swept-source OCT (ARGOS, Alcon). Refractive prediction accuracy was evaluated for the Barrett Universal II, Haigis, SRK/T, and Holladay II formulas. Main outcomes included mean prediction error, mean absolute error (MAE), median absolute error (MedAE), and percentages of eyes within ±0.25, ±0.50, and ±1.00 diopter (D).
Results: The mean age was 73.0±8.1 years, and the mean axial length was 23.03±1.04 mm. Barrett Universal II yielded the lowest MAE and MedAE (0.36±0.34 D and 0.24 D, respectively), followed by Holladay II (0.40±0.32 D and 0.30 D). Higher MAE was observed with SRK/T (0.45±0.37 D) and Haigis (0.54±0.45 D). MAE differed significantly among the formulas (p<0.001), with pairwise comparisons showing that Barrett Universal II and Holladay II performed similarly (p>0.05) and better than both Haigis and SRK/T (all p≤0.003). The highest percentage of eyes within ±0.25 D was observed with Barrett Universal II (52.04%), whereas Holladay II showed the highest percentage within ±0.50 D (69.39%), and the two formulas tied within the ±1.00 D range (both 92.86%). Prediction errors were positive for all formulas, indicating a mild hyperopic shift.
Conclusion: In eyes undergoing cataract surgery with CTR implantation, Barrett Universal II and Holladay II showed more favorable refractive prediction accuracy than Haigis and SRK/T. A mild hyperopic shift was observed across all formulas. This finding may be clinically relevant when selecting the target refraction or IOL power in these eyes.
期刊介绍:
The Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology (TJO) is the only scientific periodical publication of the Turkish Ophthalmological Association and has been published since January 1929. In its early years, the journal was published in Turkish and French. Although there were temporary interruptions in the publication of the journal due to various challenges, the Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology has been published continually from 1971 to the present. The target audience includes specialists and physicians in training in ophthalmology in all relevant disciplines.
