Purpose

To evaluate refractive outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with axial length (AL) 30 mm and to assess the
accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas.

Setting

clinical practice in a hospital centre

Methods

Retrospective case series analysis of eyes with AL 30 mm that underwent uneventful cataract surgery with
IOL implantation. Comparative analysis of ten IOL formulas: Holladay I, SRK/T, Haigis, modified Wang-Koch AL adjustment formulas (Holladay I-WK, SRK/T-WK and Haigis-WK) and four new generation formulas (Barrett Universal II, Hill RBF 2.0, Kane and Evo 2.0). Refractive predicted error (RPE) was calculated from prediction refraction of each formula and its real postoperative outcome. The mean numerical error (MNE) and mean absolute error (MAE) were determined.

Results

The study comprised 32 eyes. Hill-RBF and Kane formulas showed the closest to zero RPE (0.10 and 0.11 D) whilst SRK/T, Haigis, Holladay 1, Barrett and EVO produced hyperopic RPE (0.43 D, 0.46 D, 0.57 D, 0.36 D, 0.23 D respectively) and modified Wang-Koch AL adjustment formulas induced more myopic RPE (SRK/T-WK 0.15D, Haigis-WK -0.39 D and Holladay-WK -0.85 D). Hill-RBF and Kane formulas presented with lower MAE (0.57 D), followed for EVO formula (0.61 D). Kane and Hill-RBF formulas performed a better refractive predicted precision with approximately 56.25% and 53.13% respectively of the eyes between ± 0.50 D. 

Conclusions

New generation formulas deliver very good refractive results in extremely long eyes ( 30 mm). Considering
RPE and MAE, Hill-RBF and Kane approaches show the highest precision.
