ACCURACY OF NEW INTRAOCULAR LENS CALCULATION FORMULAE IN EYES UNDERGOING SILICONE OIL REMOVAL/PARS PLANA VITRECTOMY-CATARACT SURGERY

imagePurpose:

To investigate the performance of novel intraocular lens calculation formulae (Barrett Universal II, Emmetropia Verifying Optical, and Kane) and conventional formulae (Haigis, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, and Sanders‐Retzlaff‐Kraff/T [SRK/T]) in patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy or silicone oil removal combined with cataract surgery.

Methods:

In total, 301 eyes from 301 patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy/silicone oil removal with concomitant cataract surgery were enrolled and divided into the following four groups according to preoperative diagnosis: silicone oil–filled eyes after pars plana vitrectomy, epiretinal membrane, primary retinal detachment, and macular hole.

Results:

Barrett Universal II exhibited the smallest mean absolute error (0.65 diopters [D]) and median absolute error (0.39 D) in total. In patients with primary retinal detachment, each formula exhibited the worst refractive outcomes in diverse vitreoretinal pathologies (P
