These require an adjustment of the IOL constant to reset the mean prediction error to 0.0D0.0D, so that the IOL formula can perform at its best. This review discusses the reasons why IOL constants may differ based on IOL characteristics and biometry method, as well as causes of erroneous estimation of IOL constants that should be taken into account. The chapter also describes various methodologies for optimizing IOL constants, from simple empirical methods to the conventional optimization approach by iteration using computerized spreadsheets. The code to perform these calculations is provided. The chapter ends by discussing the IOL power formulae with more than one constant and how these can be optimized.","PeriodicalId":39699,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology Japan","volume":"1 1","pages":"551-576"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-031-50666-6_36.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147905508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this chapter, the technologies of the different interferometric setups are described in detail: from PCI to OLCR, finally arriving at the present day used swept-source OCT. The accurate measurement of anterior chamber length and lens thickness with these methods has given way to the development of modern IOL power calculation formulas. Optical biometry provides the surgeon with a B-scan of the eye allowing the identification of anatomical boundaries even in the case of very dense cataracts. The OCT technology has also been applied in the intraoperative measurement of the IOL position.","PeriodicalId":39699,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology Japan","volume":"1 1","pages":"177-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-031-50666-6_10.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147921678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Abulafia-Koch, Barrett, Barrett True-K, EVO, Goggin, Holladay, Johnson & Johnson, Kane, Næser-Savini, Rayner, and Zeiss toric calculators are described. According to the published studies, the percentage of eyes with an absolute prediction error of the cylinder within 0.50 D ranges between 55 and 79% with calculators estimating Total Corneal Astigmatism (TCA), whereas it is close to 40% with calculators using measured TCA and around 25–30% with calculators using Keratometric Astigmatism (KA).","PeriodicalId":39699,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology Japan","volume":"1 1","pages":"871-880"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-031-50666-6_62.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147892161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 2012, the Olsen formula was modified to allow exact ray tracing on aspheric surfaces to include the effect of spherical aberration. The prediction of the IOL position has been improved over the years based on numerous clinical measurements of the actual IOL position and the correlation with relevant preoperative clinical parameters (see chapter on ELP estimation). An important step was the development of the C-constant concept which predicts the IOL position as a fraction of the preoperative lens thickness, thereby reducing the number of indirect parameters in the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":39699,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology Japan","volume":"1 1","pages":"731-740"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-031-50666-6_50.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147897144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
