Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the predictability of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations using the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss) and different IOL power calculation formulas in eyes with a long axial length (AL).
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Methods: This study included 68 eyes with an AL longer than 25.0 mm that had phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. Preoperative AL and keratometric index measurements were obtained with the IOLMaster (Group 1) or, respectively, with applanation ultrasound and automatic keratometry (Group 2). The power of the implanted IOL was used to calculate the predicted postoperative spherical equivalence (SE) by various formulas: SRK/T, SRK II, and Holladay 1 (Groups 1 and 2) and Haigis (Group 1). The predictive accuracy of the formula was analyzed by comparing the mean difference between the actual and predicted postoperative SE; that is, the mean absolute error (MAE).
Results: The mean AL was significantly longer in Group 1 than in Group 2 (P = .03). The MAEs calculated by the SRK/T, SRK II, and Holladay 1 formulas were comparable between the 2 groups (P>.05). The lowest MAE was obtained using the IOLMaster data in the Haigis formula (P<.05).
Conclusions: Although AL measured by the IOLMaster was longer than that measured by ultrasound, use of optical or ultrasound biometry data in the SRK/T, SRK II, and Holladay 1 formulas resulted in similar accuracy of IOL power prediction in eyes with higher myopia. The IOL power calculated using the Haigis formula predicted the best refractive outcome in long eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the biocompatibility of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with uveitis undergoing phacoemulsification, with particular focus on posterior capsule opacification (PCO), postoperative inflammation, and visual outcomes.
Methods: Patients with uveitis who underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation between 2015 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Propensity score matching (1:1) was performed to account for clinical and demographic variables, yielding 132 eyes (66 per group) for analysis.
Presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses in eyes with corneal conditions: an update.
Curr Opin Ophthalmol

Purpose Of Review: Modern presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (IOLs) offer a potential solution to address the rising postoperative demand and expectations for spectacle independence following cataract surgery. However, IOL calculation and selection becomes more complex when presented with previous corneal refractive surgery (CRS) or co-existing corneal conditions. This review explores the use of presbyopia-correcting IOLs in eyes with co-existing corneal conditions or surgically altered corneas.

Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation has become the standard method for cataract extraction regardless of its etiology. In modern phaco surgery, implantation of multifocal IOLs is considered the most advanced method for correcting aphakia following lens extraction. The wide range of available multifocal IOLs is promoting the ongoing discussion regarding the advantages of each type, as well as potential strategies for optimizing surgical outcomes.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the factors influencing refractive error following Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation (PE + IOL) in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), providing a theoretical basis for preoperative consultation and IOL power selection in clinical practice.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 404 PACG patients from Shenzhen Eye Hospital between 2019 and 2024. Preoperative ocular biometric parameters and combined surgical approaches were evaluated using Spearman correlation, multinomial logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.
Clinical Outcomes Using a Trifocal Intraocular Lens in Eyes After Previous Laser Corneal Refractive Surgery or Radial Keratotomy: 1-Year of Follow-Up.

Purpose: To show the clinical outcomes after implantation of a diffractive trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes with previous laser-corneal-refractive-surgery (LCRS) or radial keratotomy (RK).
Methods: Eyes with previous LCRS (LASIK/PRK group) or RK (RK group) implanted with a diffractive trifocal IOL were enrolled in this retrospective study. Refraction and monocular Snellen decimal uncorrected-distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected-distance visual acuity (CDVA), and uncorrected-near visual acuity (UNVA) were analyzed at 1-year.
