Abstract
Purpose: to compare axial eye length (AEL) measurement in pseudophakic eyes by optical biometry and applanation ultrasound (u/s) biometry. Methods: a prospective, case controlled and comparative study was performed at Al-Zahraa University Hospital clinic from (January 2016 – December 2016). In total 45 eyes were enrolled; 24 pseudophakic eyes were attending the clinic for routine post operative follow up; and 21 eyes with clear crystalline lens as a control group. AEL was measured in both groups using both optical biometry and applanation u/s biometry. Results & Conclusions: both optical biometry andapplanation u/s biometry show no significant difference in AEL measurement in pseudophakic eyes as well as the control group.
