EFFECT OF MULTIPLE VARIABLES ON THE REFRACTIVE ERROR AFTER CATARACT SURGERY.

PURPOSE

To analyze refractive results after cataract surgery in relation to used type of monofocal intraocular lens, calculation formula, to age, gender and laterality.

SETTINGS

Department of Ophthalmology, Comenius University and University hospital in Bratislava, Slovakia Methods: We analyzed 173 eyes (118 patients) after uneventful cataract surgery. We calculated prediction error (PE) and mean absolute error (MAE) of postoperative refraction.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

We found no statistically significant differences in PE and MAE in relation to types of used IOL, calculation formulas, gender, age or laterality. Key words: Optical biometry, monofocal IOL, IOL calculation, refractive error.
