Abstract
Aim: To assess the accuracy and consistency of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation using optical low coherence reflectometry device (OLCR), LENSTAR LS-900, in silicone oil-filled eyes undergoing combined IOL implantation and silicone oil removal (SOR). Setting: Sankara Eye Hospital, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Design: Retrospective study. Method: This study comprised 49 silicone oil-filled eyes of 47 patients who underwent combined IOL implantation with SOR. All patients were measured with OLCR before performing phacoemulsification and IOL implantation in silicone oil mode. The predicted refraction as calculated with OLCR was correlated with the postoperative spherical equivalent. Results: The mean deviation of the spherical equivalent was −0.74 diopters (D). The mean difference between predicted refraction and postoperative spherical equivalent was −0.34 D. The mean axial length of the eyes was 23.53+1.86 (range 21.49–30.03 mm). Conclusion: OLCR is a safe device that provides precise biometry and accurate IOL power calculation in silicone oil-filled eyes.
