Standardizing sum-of-segments axial length using refractive index models
Optical biometry uses interferometry to measure the axial length (AL) of the eye. Traditionally, one-variable regression formulas have converted the optical path length measured by a biometer to a geometric AL. An alternate calculation of axial length sums the individual segments of the eye (sum-of-...

Zusammenfassung: | Optical biometry uses interferometry to measure the axial length (AL) of the eye. Traditionally, one-variable regression formulas have converted the optical path length measured by a biometer to a geometric AL. An alternate calculation of axial length sums the individual segments of the eye (sum-of-segments AL). This calculation has been shown to improve predictions of some intraocular lens power formulas when used in place of traditional axial length. Sum-of-segments ALs are determined from 13 refractive index models. As measured in 1695 eyes, these yield different ocular axial lengths. A path to standardization from these models is presented. |
