OBJECTIVE To compare 2 swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) biometers, IOLMaster 700 (biometer A), and ANTERION (biometer B). METHODS Department of Ophthalmology, Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery, Karl Landsteiner Institute, Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, Austria. METHODS Retrospective study. METHODS Biometric measurements of cataract patients performed between June and July 2019 were reviewed. Patients scheduled for cataract surgery were measured with both SS-OCT devices on the same day. The following biometry parameters were compared: keratometry, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and axial length (AL). RESULTS In total, 389 eyes of 209 subjects were measured with both devices. The mean absolute difference between the keratometry data of the 2 devices was 0.04 ± 0.05 mm (7.80 ± 0.26 mm for biometer A and 7.82 ± 0.26 mm for biometer B; P < .0001) for the steep keratometry readings and 0.04 ± 0.04 mm (7.63 ± 0.26 mm and 7.65 ± 0.25 mm; P < .0001) for the flat keratometry readings. For ACD and LT, the mean absolute difference was 0.07 ± 0.04 mm and 0.07 ± 0.04 mm. The mean absolute difference for AL was 0.02 ± 0.03 mm (23.55 ± 1.18 mm for biometer A and 23.54 ± 1.18 mm for biometer B; P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Good agreement was found between the 2 devices, with a minor offset for ACD and LT measurements. Although differences were found to be small, the devices should not be used interchangeably.

D007368 Interferometry Measurement of distances or movements by means of the phenomena caused by the interference of two rays of light (optical interferometry) or of sound (acoustic interferometry). Interferometries
D002386 Cataract Partial or complete opacity on or in the lens or capsule of one or both eyes, impairing vision or causing blindness. The many kinds of cataract are classified by their morphology (size, shape, location) or etiology (cause and time of occurrence).

D000867 Anterior Chamber The space in the eye, filled with aqueous humor, bounded anteriorly by the cornea and a small portion of the sclera and posteriorly by a small portion of the ciliary body, the iris, and that part of the crystalline lens which presents through the pupil.

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.

D041623 Tomography, Optical Coherence An imaging method using LASERS that is used for mapping subsurface structure. When a reflective site in the sample is at the same optical path length (coherence) as the reference mirror, the detector observes interference fringes.
