OBJECTIVE To determine the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations in eyes with high myopia and to suggest adjusted constants for these cases. METHODS Centre for Ophthalmology, Eberhard-Karls-University, Tuebingen, Germany. METHODS Patients with high myopia having phacoemulsification with implantation of an AcrySof MA60MA IOL (power range +5.00 to -5.00 diopters [D]) were evaluated. Optical biometry (IOLMaster) and IOL calculations were performed before and after IOL implantation. Because of different optic principal planes of negative-diopter and positive-diopter IOLs, separate constants were calculated for these groups. RESULTS Fifty eyes (32 patients) were evaluated. Thirty eyes (mean AL 31.15 mm +/- 1.69 [SD]) had implantation of a positive-diopter IOL (mean power +3.10 +/- 1.50 D) and 18 eyes (mean AL 33.20 +/- 2.25 mm), a negative-diopter IOL (mean power -3.20 +/- 1.70 D). Postoperatively, the mean spherical equivalent was -1.42 +/- 1.33 D and -0.41 +/- 1.81 D, respectively. The difference in optimized constants between positive- and negative-diopter IOLs was significant for all formulas. Power calculation with the SRK II formula showed a wide range of deviation of postoperative refraction from target refraction. Calculation with the Haigis, SRK/T, Holladay 1, and Hoffer Q formulas showed a mean deviation of 0.00 D with an SD of 0.88, 0.92, 1.03, and 1.15, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Results indicate that the SRK II formula cannot be recommended for IOL power calculation in highly myopic patients. With optimized constants, the SRK/T, Haigis, Hoffer Q, and Holladay 1 formulas produced small deviation of postoperative refraction from target refraction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006956 Hyperopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the eye parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus behind the retina, as a result of the eyeball being too short from front to back. It is also called farsightedness because the near point is more distant than it is in emmetropia with an equal amplitude of accommodation. (Dorland, 27th ed) Farsightedness,Hypermetropia
D007910 Lenses, Intraocular Artificial implanted lenses. Implantable Contact Lens,Lens, Intraocular,Contact Lens, Implantable,Intraocular Lens,Intraocular Lenses,Lens, Implantable Contact
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D012029 Refraction, Ocular Refraction of LIGHT effected by the media of the EYE. Ocular Refraction,Ocular Refractions,Refractions, Ocular

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
