In eyes with axial lengths longer than or equal to 27.0 mm, current third- and fourth-generation lens calculation formulas have a tendency to over minus patients between -1.0 and -4.0 D. The formulas appear to perform better for plus-power IOL implantation than for minus-power IOL implantation. The use of B-scan ultrasonography to locate posterior pole staphylomas may improve the accuracy of IOL calculations in eyes with extreme myopia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
