Summary

To study the effective lens position concept in second eye refinement (SER) cataract surgery, by relating inter-ocular symmetry of pseudophakic anterior chamber depth (pACD) measured in Pentacam and SER refractive outcomes.

Detailed description

A retrospective chart review was conducted, including demographics (age and gender) and several parameters for both the first and second eyes, including the intra-ocular lens power calculation using the HofferQ, SRK/T and Holladay 1 formulas. Pentacam HR was used for pseudophakic anterior chamber depth measurement, and manual measurement was performed by a single investigator tracing a line between the anterior surface of the intra-ocular lens and the central corneal epithelium apex. Second eye refinement in the intra-ocular lens power selection for the second eye was performed using a theoretical 50% partial adjustment of the prediction error of the first eye. To relate refractive outcomes to pACD values, the investigators performed subgroup analysis based in consecutive 50µm increments in inter-ocular asymmetry of pACD (50-600).

Conditions

• Cataract

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	50% Partial adjustment	Second eye refinement in the IOL power selection for the second eye using a theoretical 50% partial adjustment of the PE1.
PROCEDURE	No adjustment	IOL power selection for the second eye irrespective of first eye prediction error
PROCEDURE	Full adjustment	Second eye refinement in the IOL power selection for the second eye using a theoretical 100% partial adjustment of the PE1.
