          Abstract

          Efficacy of intraocular lens power calculation formulas in a subset of Indian myopic population. Retrospectively reviewed 43 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with high axial length (AL) (>24.5 mm, range 24.75-32.35 mm). The power of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL) was used to calculate the predicted post-operative refractive error by four formulas: Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK II), SRK/T, Holladay 1, and Hoffer Q. The predictive accuracy of the formulas was analyzed by comparing the difference between the “actual” and “predicted” postoperative refractive errors. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests were done to have pair-wise comparisons between the formulas and P < 0.05 was considered significant. A subcategory of axial length 24.5-26.5 mm was also tested. Holladay 1, Hoffer Q and SRK/T formulas showed a slight tendency toward resultant hyperopia, with mean error of +0.24 diopters (D), +0.58 D, and +0.92 D, respectively. The Holladay 1 formula provided the best predictive result overall.

          Intraocular lens power calculation using the IOLMaster and various formulas in eyes with long axial length.

          To evaluate the predictability of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations using the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss) and different IOL power calculation formulas in eyes with a long axial length (AL). Department of Ophthalmology, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan. This study included 68 eyes with an AL longer than 25.0 mm that had phacoemulsification with IOL implantation. Preoperative AL and keratometric index measurements were obtained with the IOLMaster (Group 1) or, respectively, with applanation ultrasound and automatic keratometry (Group 2). The power of the implanted IOL was used to calculate the predicted postoperative spherical equivalence (SE) by various formulas: SRK/T, SRK II, and Holladay 1 (Groups 1 and 2) and Haigis (Group 1). The predictive accuracy of the formula was analyzed by comparing the mean difference between the actual and predicted postoperative SE; that is, the mean absolute error (MAE). The mean AL was significantly longer in Group 1 than in Group 2 (P = .03). The MAEs calculated by the SRK/T, SRK II, and Holladay 1 formulas were comparable between the 2 groups (P>.05). The lowest MAE was obtained using the IOLMaster data in the Haigis formula (P<.05). Although AL measured by the IOLMaster was longer than that measured by ultrasound, use of optical or ultrasound biometry data in the SRK/T, SRK II, and Holladay 1 formulas resulted in similar accuracy of IOL power prediction in eyes with higher myopia. The IOL power calculated using the Haigis formula predicted the best refractive outcome in long eyes.

            Accuracy of intraocular lens calculations using the IOLMaster in eyes with long axial length and a comparison of various formulas.

            To evaluate the relationship between eyes with long axial length (AL) and postoperative refractive errors as predicted by various commonly used intraocular lens (IOL) formulas using the Zeiss IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany).

              Prevalence and risk factors for refractive errors in the South Indian adult population: The Andhra Pradesh Eye disease study

              Aim: To report the prevalence, risk factors and associated population attributable risk percentage (PAR) for refractive errors in the South Indian adult population. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional epidemiologic study was conducted in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. A multistage cluster, systematic, stratified random sampling method was used to obtain participants (n = 10293) for this study. Results: The age-gender-area-adjusted prevalence rates in those ≥40 years of age were determined for myopia (spherical equivalent [SE] +0.5 D) 18.4% (95% CI: 17.1–19.7), astigmatism (cylinder 0.5 D) 13.0% (95% CI: 11.9–14.1). The prevalence of myopia, astigmatism, high-myopia, and anisometropia significantly increased with increasing age (all p < 0.0001). There was no gender difference in prevalence rates in any type of refractive error, though women had a significantly higher rate of hyperopia than men (p < 0.0001). Hyperopia was significantly higher among those with a higher educational level (odds ratio [OR] 2.49; 95% CI: 1.51–3.95) and significantly higher among the hypertensive group (OR 1.24; 95% CI: 1.03–1.49). The severity of lens nuclear opacity was positively associated with myopia and negatively associated with hyperopia. Conclusions: The prevalence of myopia in this adult Indian population is much higher than in similarly aged white populations. These results confirm the previously reported association between myopia, hyperopia, and nuclear opacity.
