Abstract

In today's world, with the developments in technology to measure ocular biometric parameters more accurately and the availability of sophisticated methods for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, cataract surgery has become no less than a refractive surgery. This along with free and easy access to information regarding the latest technology has heightened patient expectations. The demand for a spectacle-free life after cataract surgery is higher than ever. Newer advances in optical biometry, including swept-source optical coherence tomography technology, supplemented by the availability of highly accurate IOL power calculation formulae including ones that use artificial intelligence have the potential to enable surgeons to achieve near-perfect outcomes in majority of their patients. To hit the bull's eye as far as target refraction is concerned, it is necessary to understand the benefits and limitations of currently available cutting edge technology and formulae and apply them to the cataract surgery practice.
