Summary: Purpose: To compare axial length estimated by means of Zeiss IOLMaster and A- scan ultrasonography and anticipate postoperative refraction after IOL implanatation with refraction measured after operation.
Material and methods: 26 patients were analyzed. Measurement of axial length was performed by Zeiss IOLMaster and A-scan ultrasonography. Preoperative refraction was determined by both methods based on SRK / T calculation formula and 119,0 and 120,5 A-constant for IOL. Postoperative refraction was expressed as a spherical equivalent and was obtained by autokeratorefraktometr in the first day after cataract surgery.
Results: Mean axial length measured by IOLMaster was longer by 0.06 mm in compared to ultrasound estimation
(p < 0.001). The correlation between pre-operative refraction values determined by IOLMaster and post-operative measurements was statistically significant ( p = 0.03 ).
Conclusions: Measurement of axial length performed by IOLMaster is longer than by ultrasonography. IOLMaster seems to be more reliable method than ultrasonography in intraocular artificial lens calculation in cataract surgery.
