Abstract
Background
To assess and compare the accuracy of 10 intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas after cataract surgery in eyes with an axial length (AL) shorter than or equal to 22.00 mm.
Methods
A retrospective case series included 100 eyes with an AL ≤ 22.00 mm that underwent uneventful cataract surgery. The refractive prediction error (PE) was calculated using 10 different IOL power calculation formulas: Barrett Universal II, EVO 2.0, Haigis, Hill RBF 2.0, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1 and 2, Kane, SRK/T and SuperLadas. The median absolute prediction error (MedAE ± SD) and mean absolute prediction error (MAE ± SD) were calculated after adjusting the mean prediction error (ME) to 0.
Results
Hoffer Q obtained the lowest MedAE (0.292 D) after adjusting the ME to 0, followed very closely by EVO 2.0 (0.298 D) and Kane (0.300 D). EVO 2.0 and Kane obtained both the lowest MAE after adjusting the ME to 0 (0.386). Differences in MAE among the different formulas were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
Conclusions
Our study reflects a tendency of the EVO 2.0 formula and the Kane formula along with the older Hoffer Q formula, to predict more accurately the refractive outcomes in short eyes that undergo cataract phacoemulsification surgery compared to the other formulas, despite this difference could not be statistically proved.
