OSN APAO: With novel approaches to biometry, refractive outcomes of cataract surgery more accurate but still inconsistent

New IOL technologies and heightened patient expectations for precise refractive results have given a great boost to biometry and IOL power calculations. Remarkable improvements have been seen in recent years, and about 1,000 citations for optical biometry now appear in PubMed.However, “we are still far from perfect,” according to Oliver Findl, MD. “The EUREQUO database, which includes more than 1 million cataract operations, shows that there are a lot of outliers out there.
