Article Abstract
IOL calculation can now be considered a solved problem. However, the problem of sharing the knowledge of the underlying physical and mathematical basics is still unsolved. Also, the necessary hard- and software tools for an IOL calculation approximating the accuracy of prescribed glasses are not yet generally available. The aim of this survey is a clarification of the basics and of some historical pitfalls that still lead to persisting misunderstandings.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess visual and refractive outcomes and cost utility of toric intraocular lens (IOLs) implantation in cataract patients over 80 with corneal astigmatism.
Methods: Patients >= 80 years with corneal astigmatism >= 1.50 diopters (D) who underwent cataract surgery with toric or monofocal IOLs were enrolled.
Surgical options for correcting refractive surprise following lens and cataract surgery: a review and meta-analysis.
J Cataract Refract Surg

Helsinki Retina Research Group, University of Helsinki, Finland.
Topic: To compare the outcomes of surgical approaches to correct ametropia following cataract and lens surgery.
Clinical Relevance: Despite advancements in the field of biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas, complete elimination of refractive surprises following cataract and lens surgery is impossible. Preferred Practice Patterns acknowledges the possibility of refractive surprise following cataract surgery; however, no recommendations regarding the preferred treatment have been given.
Accuracy of Intraocular Lens Calculation in a Non-diffractive Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lens After Myopic LASIK.

September 2025
From the Department of Ophthalmology, Goethe-University, Frankfurt am Main, Germany and.
Purpose: To evaluate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation of a non-diffractive extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) without historical data.
Methods: In this consecutive case series, patients who had undergone lens surgery with implantation of a non-diffractive EDOF IOL after myopic laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) at the Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany, were included. Preoperative assessments included biometry and tomography using Scheimpflug technology (Pentacam; Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH).
Accuracy of PEARL-DGS Formula for Intraocular Lens Power Calculation in Patients With Previous Myopic Laser Vision Correction.

September 2025
From the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Humanitas University, Pieve Emanuele, Milan, Italy.
Purpose: To determine the accuracy of a new machine learning-based open-source IOL formula (PEARLS-DGS) in 100 patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery and had a history of laser refractive surgery for myopic defects.
Methods: The setting for this retrospective study was HUMANITAS Research Hospital, Milan, Italy. Data from 100 patients with a history of photorefractive keratectomy or laser in situ keratomileusis were retrospectively analyzed to assess the accuracy of the formula.
Influence of Manufacturing Tolerance and Formula Thickness Type in the Prediction Error of Multifocal Intraocular Lens Power Calculation.
J Refract Surg
September 2025
From Qvision, Department of Ophthalmology of VITHAS Almería Hospital, Almería, Spain.
Purpose: To assess differences in intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation prediction error (PE) considering the manufacturing tolerance or exact power (EP) versus labeled power (LP), and to compare accuracy using the Barrett formula with optimized constant versus a thick-lens formula.
Methods: The PE and absolute PE were calculated for a random eye of patients implanted with the multifocal Liberty Q-Flex 640PM IOL (Medicontur Ltd) considering the LP and the EP provided by the manufacturer. The outcomes for the Barrett with optimized constant formula and a thick-lens formula personalized for the surgeon, biometer, and IOL were compared.
