Refractive Predictability of a Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography Biometer in Long and Short Eyes Implanted with Extended Depth of Focus Intraocular Lenses.

PURPOSE: To determine the refractive predictability of Argos (Movu, a Santec company) measurements and the Barrett Universal II formula in long and short eyes implanted with an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL).

METHODS: This retrospective, non-interventional study included 86 eyes (55 long and 31 short) of 55 patients. Preoperative biometry was performed using the Argos. Preoperative IOL power formulas were the preprogrammed Barrett Universal II (BUII). Data were collected for refractive outcomes, postoperative prediction error (directional and absolute), and monocular corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA, Snellen).

RESULTS: The mean absolute prediction error for BUII was 0.27 ± 0.26 D overall, 0.24 ± 0.20 D in long eyes, and 0.33 ± 0.33 D in short eyes. Overall, the percentage of eyes with ≤ 0.5 D prediction error was 84% for BUII. In long eyes, the percentage of eyes with ≤ 0.5 D prediction error was 90% for BUII. In short eyes, the percentage of eyes with ≤ 0.5 D prediction error was 74% for BUII. The percentage of eyes with ≤ 0.5 D of MRSE was 89% for long eyes and 94% for short eyes. Visual acuities were excellent in both long and short eyes, with > 90% of eyes 20/25 or better in each group.

CONCLUSION: The prediction error of Argos using BUII was low in long and short eyes at one month after EDOF IOL implantation.
