Abstract

Since the introduction of optical biometry and modern intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulae, the refractive outcome after cataract surgery improved significantly. This is necessary, as patient demand for spectacle independence is increasing. However, especially when it comes to short and long eyes, all formulae have their difficulties in predicting the effective lens position – and, therefore, the post-operative refractive outcome. This review summarises the development of IOL power calculation formulae, explains their basics and presents some alternative calculation methods.
