Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power prediction of the formulas available on the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) post?refractive calculator in eyes with prior radial keratotomy (RK) for myopia. Methods: This retrospective study included 25 eyes of 18 patients whose status was post?RK for treatment of myopia, which had undergone cataract extraction with IOL implantation. Prediction error was calculated as the difference between implanted IOL power and predicted power by various formulae available on ASCRS post?refractive calculator. The formulas compared were Humphrey Atlas method, IOLMaster/Lenstar method, Barrett True?K no?history formula, ASCRS Average power, and ASCRS Maximum power on ASCRS post?refractive calculator. Results: Median absolute errors were the least for Barrett True?K and ASCRS Maximum power, that is, 0.56 (0.25, 1.04) and 0.56 (0.25, 1.06) D, respectively, and that of Atlas method was 1.60 (0.85, 2.28) D. Median arithmetic errors were positive for Atlas, Barrett True?K, ASCRS Average (0.86 [?0.17, 1.61], 0.14 [?0.22 to 0.54], and 0.23 [?0.054, 0.76] D, respectively) and negative for IOLMaster/Lenstar method and ASCRS Maximum power (?0.02 [?0.46 to 0.38] and ? 0.48 [?1.06 to ? 0.22] D, respectively). Multiple comparison analysis of Friedmanæ¯ test revealed that Atlas formula was significantly different from IOLMaster/ Lenstar, Barrett True?K, and ASCRS Maximum power; ASCRS Maximum power was significantly different from all others (P < 0.00001). Conclusion: In post?RK eyes, Barrett True?K no?history formula and ASCRS Maximum power given by the ASCRS calculator were more accurate than other available formulas, with ASCRS Maximum leading to more myopic outcomes when compared to others
