Abstract

In eyes with axial lengths longer than or equal to 27.0 mm, current third- and fourth-generation lens calculation formulas have a tendency to over minus patients between -1.0 and -4.0 D. The formulas appear to perform better for plus-power IOL implantation than for minus-power IOL implantation. The use of B-scan ultrasonography to locate posterior pole staphylomas may improve the accuracy of IOL calculations in eyes with extreme myopia.
