Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Optical biometry with the IOL-Master is an innovative technique that claims to improve the refractive results of cataract surgery compared to acoustical biometry. METHODS:In 140 consecutive non-selected eyes prior to cataract surgery firstly an optical biometry (IOL-Master, Zeiss, V.2.02) and secondly an ultrasound biometry (Sonomed) were carried out. Cataract surgery was performed using either a PMMA-IOL (n = 56) or an acrylic IOL (n = 84). The PMMA-IOL's were implanted in the capsular bag via a scleral tunnel. The acrylic-IOL's were implanted via a clear cornea incision in the capsular bag. The length of the globe was analysed and the deviations between the postoperative refraction after 3 month and the preoperative planned refraction were compared. RESULTS:The mean axial length difference between optical biometry and acoustical biometry was 0.19 mm in the PMMA-lens group and 0.16 mm in the acrylic-lens group. The deviation of postoperative refraction (spherical mean) from the planned refraction was 0.46 +/- 0.88 D in the PMMA-IOL group and 0.25 +/- 0.77 D in the acrylic IOL group when biometry was performed by ultrasonography. When optical biometry was performed the respective values were 1.15 +/- 0.83 D in the PMMA-IOL group and 0.84 +/- 0.75 D in the acrylic IOL group. The differences in mean postoperative refraction of optical and acoustical biometry can be compensated by adaptation of the A constants. The standard deviation of the difference between the postoperative refraction and the preoperatively planned refraction - that means the individual deviations between postoperative refraction and preoperatively planned refraction - were almost identical in optical and acoustical biometry. CONCLUSION:Optical biometry represents a significant simplification in the course of investigation prior to cataract surgery. The claim of optical biometry, however, to gain a higher precision and thus a significantly better prediction of individual postoperative refraction after cataract surgery is not yet fulfilled.
