Predictive accuracy of Barrett TK toric calculator compared to measured posterior corneal astigmatism using Pentacam in toric IOL power calculation.
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology 2024 Februrary 24
PURPOSE: To compare the predictive accuracy of Barrett total keratometry (Barrett TK) toric calculator with the measured posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA) by using Pentacam in toric intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.
METHODS: A prospective analysis was done on 118 eyes requiring toric IOL power implantation. The absolute prediction error of the Barrett TK toric calculator and the measured PCA in the online toric calculator were assessed and compared to the standard Alcon toric calculator (with Barrett toric calculator incorporated).
RESULTS: The mean absolute prediction error of the online toric calculator (0.32 D) (with Barrett toric calculator incorporated), Barrett TK Toric (0.34 D), and measured PCA of Pentacam in Barrett toric calculator (0.33 D) were found to be similar with no statistically significant difference. Subanalysis in eyes with with-the-rule astigmatism, against-the-rule astigmatism, and oblique astigmatism showed similar results. Alpins analysis showed that all three methods overcorrected corneal astigmatism.
CONCLUSION: The Barrett TK toric calculator and the measured PCA of Pentacam in the Barrett toric calculator have similar predictive accuracy to the online toric calculator (with Barrett toric calculator incorporated).
