EFFECT OF MULTIPLE VARIABLES ON THE REFRACTIVE ERROR AFTER CATARACT SURGERY

Cesk Slov Oftalmol. 2019 Winter;74(4):158-161. doi: 10.31348/2018/1/4-6-2018.

Abstract

Purpose: To analyze refractive results after cataract surgery in relation to used type of monofocal intraocular lens, calculation formula, to age, gender and laterality.

Settings: Department of Ophthalmology, Comenius University and University hospital in Bratislava, Slovakia Methods: We analyzed 173 eyes (118 patients) after uneventful cataract surgery. We calculated prediction error (PE) and mean absolute error (MAE) of postoperative refraction.

Results and conclusion: We found no statistically significant differences in PE and MAE in relation to types of used IOL, calculation formulas, gender, age or laterality. Key words: Optical biometry, monofocal IOL, IOL calculation, refractive error.

Keywords: IOL calculation; Optical biometry; monofocal IOL; refractive error.
