Prediction accuracy of no-history intraocular lens formulas for a diffractive extended depth-of-focus intraocular lens after myopic corneal refractive surgery

To compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) calculation methods for extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) IOLs in eyes with a history of myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK)/photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) surgery lacking historical data.Changsha Aier Eye Hospital, Changsha, and Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital, Wuhan, China.Retrospective case series.Patients with axial lengths (ALs) ≥25.0 mm and a history of myopic LASIK/PRK surgery who underwent cataract surgery with implantation of EDoF IOLs were enrolled. A comparison was performed of the accuracy of 10 IOL methods lacking historical data, including Barrett True-K no history (Barrett TKNH), Haigis-L, Shammas, and Potvin-Hill formulas and average, minimum, and maximum IOL power on the ASCRS online postrefractive IOL calculator; Seitz/Speicher/Savini (Triple-S) formula; and Schuster/Schanzlin-Thomas-Purcell (SToP) formulas based on Holladay 1 and SRK/T formulas. IOL power was calculated with the abovementioned methods in 2 groups according to AL (Group 1: 25.0 mm ≤ AL < 28.0 mm and Group 2: AL ≥ 28.0 mm).64 eyes were included. Excellent outcomes were achieved with the minimum, Barrett TKNH, SToP (SRK/T), and Triple-S formulas in the whole sample and subgroups, which led to similar median absolute error, mean absolute error, and the percentage of eyes with a prediction error within ±0.5 diopters (D). In the whole sample, the Haigis-L and maximum formulas had a significantly higher absolute error than minimum, SToP (SRK/T), and Barrett TKNH formulas. The maximum formula also had a significantly lower percentage of eyes within ±0.5 D than the Barrett TKNH, and SToP (SRK/T) formulas (15.6% vs 50% and 51.5%, all P < .05 with Bonferroni adjustment).Predicting the EDoF IOL power in postmyopic refractive eyes by no-history IOL formulas remains challenging. The Barrett TKNH, Triple-S, minimum, and SToP (SRK/T) formulas achieved the best accuracy when AL ≥ 25.0 mm, while the Barrett TKNH and SToP (SRK/T) formulas were recommended when AL ≥ 28.0 mm.
