Abstract

Background and Objective: To identify the most accurate combination of Pentacam's equivalent keratometry readings (EKR) and intraocular lens power formula when the clinical history is unavailable. Patients and Methods: A total of 18 patients underwent cataract surgery after refractive surgery. The Pentacam 4.5- and 3.0-mm EKR were combined with the SRK II, SRK/T, Hoffer-Q, and Holladay I and II formulas. Results: The smallest deviation from the predicted value was achieved by combining the 4.5 EKR with the Holladay II formula (mean arithmetic deviation, -0.2 ± 0.4 dpt). Conclusion: The 4.5-mm EKR + Holladay II formula can accurately calculate intraocular lens power in patients with previous refractive surgery.
