OBJECTIVE The SRK II formula has been widely used for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations. The predictability of this formula is evaluated in axial myopic patients. METHODS Planned extracapsular cataract extraction and posterior chamber IOL implantation (PECCE + IOL) were performed on 98 eyes of 98 patients with axial length > 24.5 mm. Cases had no preoperative complications and postoperative visual acuity was at least 0.5 (Snellen). Corneal refractive power and axial length were measured preoperatively and emmetropic IOL power calculations were made using the SRK II formula. Long-term (mean 4.7 months) visual acuities and refractions were noted postoperatively. RESULTS The absolute refractive error was < 1.00 Diopters (D) in 57 eyes (58.2%) and < 2.00 D in 83 eyes (84.7%). The mean absolute error of the SRK II formula in axial myopia was 1.16 D +/- 0.78 SD. CONCLUSIONS The SRK II formula is not very accurate in axial myopic patients.

D009216 Myopia A refractive error in which rays of light entering the EYE parallel to the optic axis are brought to a focus in front of the RETINA when accommodation (ACCOMMODATION, OCULAR) is relaxed. This results from an overly curved CORNEA or from the eyeball being too long from front to back. It is also called nearsightedness. Nearsightedness,Myopias,Nearsightednesses

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
