| description | <h4>Purpose</h4>To evaluate the influence of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of axial length measurement, achieved using IOLMaster, on prediction of target refraction.<h4>Methods</h4>A total of 131 eyes of 131 patients who underwent phacoemulsification with posterior chamber lens implantation were enrolled. Preoperative axial length measurements were performed with the IOLMaster 500 (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Germany); preoperative SNR values were used to divide the eyes into three groups (Group 1; SNR <10, Group 2; 10 ≤ SNR <50, Group 3; 50 ≤ SNR <100). One month and 6 months after cataract surgery, the manifest refraction spherical equivalents (MRSE) were measured. The mean numeric errors (MNE), the mean of the difference between postoperative MRSE, and preoperative target refraction, using the various intraocular lens (IOL) formulas, were calculated and compared among the three groups.<h4>Results</h4>One month after cataract surgery, postoperative MRSE was more hyperopic than preoperative target refraction, calculated by the Haigis formula in group 1, and by the SRK/T formula in group 2. After 6 months, for all formulas in group 1, there were significantly hyperopic results (approximately 0.35 diopter). Upon comparison of MNE among the three groups, group 1 was statistically significantly different from the other groups by Haigis formula.<h4>Conclusions</h4>When the SNR values in biometry, using IOLMaster, are <10, careful attention should be given to determining IOL power, as postoperative spherical equivalents are more hyperopic than preoperative target refraction by IOL formula. |
