Axial length shows significant correlation with prediction error in scleral-fixated IOLs

FRANKFURT, Germany — The four-flanged technique for scleral IOL fixation yields good outcomes but still not as good as in-the-bag implantation.
At the ESCRS winter meeting, Markus Schranz, MD, presented a study evaluating the refractive outcomes and biometric factors potentially leading to prediction error (PE) with different IOL power calculation formulae.
The study included 28 eyes of 28 patients implanted with the Micropure IOL (BVI). Average induced astigmatism was 1 D at 3 months, and 80% of patients were within 1 D of intended correction, with similar outcomes and a (Read more...)
