Standardizing sum-of-segments axial length using refractive index models

Abstract: Optical biometry uses interferometry to measure the axial length (AL) of the eye. Traditionally, one-variable regression formulas have converted the optical path length measured by a biometer to a geometric AL. An alternate calculation of axial length sums the individual segments of the eye (sum-of-segments AL). This calculation has been shown to improve predictions of some intraocular lens power formulas when used in place of traditional axial length. Sum-of-segments ALs are determined from 13 refractive inde… Show more

“…effect of the segmented AL as shown in Figure 1 and found by others. [4][5][6] This recalibration has been used by the Olsen formula since the publication of the calibration issue and may be the reason why researchers do not find further improvement using the segmented AL with the Olsen formula. 4,5 Very few studies have investigated the index of the crystalline lens by direct measurements.…”

“…As can be seen from the figure, the recalibration gives a shorter reading in the long eyes and a longer reading in the short eyes, in fact very similar to the effect of the segmented AL as shown in Figure 1 and found by others. 4–6 This recalibration has been used by the Olsen formula since the publication of the calibration issue and may be the reason why researchers do not find further improvement using the segmented AL with the Olsen formula. 4,5…”

“…Bei kurzen und langen Augen ist dadurch der Anteil von Linse und Hornhaut über- bzw. unterrepräsentiert, sodass hier lange Augen zu kurz und kurze Augen zu lang gemessen werden können 14 , 15 , 16 . Bei den optischen Biometern der neueren Generation werden alle Teilstrecken des Strahlengangs gemessen und ermittelt, sodass die vereinfachte Darstellung mit einem Gruppenbrechungsindex nicht mehr notwendig ist und die Brechungsindizes der einzelnen Teilstrecken berücksichtigt werden können.…”

“…For the IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) this is 1.35 491. In short and long eyes, this means that the proportion of lens and cornea is either overrepresented or underrepresented, so that long eyes can be measured too short and short eyes too long 14 , 15 , 16 . With the newer generation of optical biometers, all sections of the optical path are measured and determined, so that the simplified representation with a group refractive index is no longer necessary and the refractive indices of the individual sections can be taken into account.…”

“…Az optikában a törésmutató a fény terjedési sebességével fordítottan arányos mérőszám, tehát az adott intraocularis szakasz műszer által észlelt távolságát osztani kell az adott közeg optikai törésmutatójával. A korrekciót bonyolítja, hogy a műszer által használt hullámhosszra a rendszerint 550 nm-es hullámhosszon kifejezett törésmutatót korrigálni kell, de ökölszabályként elmondható, hogy a valós, "geometriai" távolságot a nyers, "optikai" úthossz és a törésmutató hányadosaként kapjuk meg (3,7). Az első műlencsetervező optikai biométernél ez a szempont még nem merült fel, hiszen az interferometriával csupán a tengelyhosszt volt képes mérni, a használt törésmutató pedig egy, az egész bulbus átlagára vonatkoztatott kumulatív érték volt.…”
