ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A new method, the Iida-Shimizu-Shoji (ISS) method, is proposed for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power that combines the anterior-posterior ratio of the corneal radius of the curvature after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and to compare the predictability of the method with that of other IOL formulas after LASIK.METHODS:
The estimated corneal power before LASIK (Kpre) in the double-K method was 43.86 D according to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery calculator, and the K readings of the IOL master were used as the K values after LASIK (Kpost). The factor for correcting the target refractive value (correcting factor [C-factor]) was calculated from the correlation between the anterior-posterior ratio of the corneal radius of the curvature and the refractive error obtained using this method for 30 eyes of 30 patients.RESULTS:
Fifty-nine eyes of 59 patients were included. The mean values of the numerical and absolute prediction errors obtained using the ISS method were -0.02 ± 0.45 diopter (D) and 0.35 ± 0.27 D, respectively. The prediction errors using the ISS method were within ±0.25, ±0.50, and ±1.00 D in 49.2%, 76.3%, and 96.6% of the eyes, respectively. The predictability of the ISS method was comparable to or better than some of the other formulas.CONCLUSIONS:
The ISS method is useful for calculating the IOL power in eyes treated with cataract surgery after LASIK.
