Comparison of Accuracy in Keratometries Measured by Different Camera Devices for Predicting the Intraocular Lens Power in Lens-Dislocated Patients

Introduction: This is a cross-sectional cohort study focused on assessing the influence of ocular biometric parameters of different camera devices for accurately predicting the intraocular lens (IOL) power in the congenital ectopia lentis (EL) patients. Methods: This study includes a total of 91 eyes of 60 patients with congenital EL from June 2018 to April 2021. All patients underwent lens subluxation surgery with Cionni modified capsular tension rings (MCTR) implantation. Ocular parameters measured by partial coherence interferometry (IOLMaster 700, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) and rotating Scheimpflug camera (Pentacam HR system, Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) were acquired from the database. The authenticity of the different keratometries (K) were analyzed by comparing the prediction error in spherical equivalent under controlled formula SRK/T, Haigis, and after Wang-Koch (WK) adjustment. Results: We observed significant greater K values were obtained in IOLMaster than Pentacam, resulting in more significant hyperopia error while calculating SRK/T. The IOL power calculated with the total corneal refractive power (TCRP) from Pentacam revealed the highest prediction accuracy, indicating that TCRP is the closest to the actual refractive power of the cornea. However, in an exceptional case for long eye patients, total keratometry from IOLMaster was better recommended when using formula Haigis with WK adjustment. Conclusions: For most instances, TCRP is the best-recommended source of K value while calculating IOL power for EL patients. However, the total keratometry from IOLMaster preferably fits for long eye patients, who require WK adjustment for Haigis formula.
