The aim of an accurate intraocular lens power calculation is to provide an intraocular lens (IOL) that fits the specific needs and desires of the individual patient. The development of better instrumentation for measuring the eye's axial length (AL) and the use of more precise mathematical formulas to perform the appropriate calculations have significantly improved the accuracy with which the ...
The power of phakic lens is independent of the axial length of the eye. Rather it depends on central corneal power, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and patient refraction (preoperative spherical equivalent). The most common formula for calculating the power of phakic IOL is the following: [2]
A phakic IOL. An intraocular lens (IOL) is a lens implanted in the eye usually as part of a treatment for cataracts or for correcting other vision problems such as short sightedness and long sightedness; a form of refractive surgery. If the natural lens is left in the eye, the IOL is known as phakic, otherwise it is a pseudophakic lens
Micheletti developed ICLCalc, an online calculator designed to assist surgeons in determining the appropriate lens size for Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICLs). The tool is based on his study titled “Assessment of Measurement Variability Across Biometers for ICL Sizing Parameters,” published in the Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery.
The appropriate refractive power of the IOL is selected, much like a spectacle or contact lens prescription, to provide the desired refractive outcome. Pre-operative measurements, including corneal curvature, axial length, and white-to-white measurements [ Note 3 ] are used to estimate the required power of the IOL.

A-scan ultrasound biometry, commonly referred to as an A-scan (short for Amplitude scan), uses an ultrasound instrument for diagnostic testing. [1] A-scan biometry measures the axial length (AL) of the eye prior to cataract surgery in order to assess the refractive power of the intraocular lens that will be implanted.
