Partial coherence interferometry is a noncontact, user- and patient-friendly method for axial length determination and IOL planning with an accuracy comparable to that of high-precision immersion ultrasound.
The new formula would produce promising results in eyes without refractive history. Its refractive predictability fulfills the current criteria for normal eyes.

Results indicate that the SRK II formula cannot be recommended for IOL power calculation in highly myopic patients. With optimized constants, the SRK/T, Haigis, Hoffer Q, and Holladay 1 formulas produced small deviation of postoperative refraction from target refraction.
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.
