Abstract

Purpose. The choice of the optimal formula for calculating the IOL optical power in patients with an axial eye length of less than 20 mm. Material and methods.A total of 78 patients (118 eyes) were included in theprospective study. Group I included 30 patients (52 eyes) with short eyes (average axial eye length of 19.60 ± 0.42 (18.54-20.0) mm), group II consisted of 48 patients (66 eyes) with a axial length (22.75 ± 0.46 (22.0-23.77) mm. Various monofocal IOL models were used. The average follow-up period was 13 months. IOL optical power was calculated using the SRK/T formula, retrospective comparison - according to the formulas Hoffer-Q, Holladay II, Olsen, Haigis, Barrett Universal II and Kane. Results. In group I, the mean absolute error was determined for the formulas Haigis, Olsen, Barrett Universal II, Kane, SRK / T, Holladay 2 and Hoffer-Q (0.85; 0.78; 0.21; 0.17; 0.79; 0.73; 0.19 respectively). When comparing the formulas, significant differences were found for the formulas Hoffer-Q, Barrett Universal II and Kane in comparison with the formulas Haigis, Olsen, SRK / T and Holladay II (p <0.05) in all cases, respectively. In group I, the mean absolute error was determined for the formulas Haigis, Olsen, Barrett Universal II, Kane, SRK / T, Holladay 2 and Hoffer-Q (0.15; 0.16; 0.23; 0.10; 0.19; 0.23; 0.29 respectively) In group II, there were no significant differences between the studied formulas (p> 0.05). Conclusion. This paper presents an analysis of data on the effectiveness of seven formulas for calculating the IOL optical power in short (less than 20 mm) eyes in comparison with the normal axial length. The advantage of the Hoffer-Q, Barrett Universal II and Kane formulas over Haigis, Holladay 2, Olsen, and SRK / T is shown. Key words: cataract; hypermetropia; short eyes; calculation of the IOL optical power.
