Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Cataract surgery aims for emmetropia or targeted refractive outcomes.
  • Accurate prediction relies on intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation and managing surgically induced astigmatism (SIA).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review advancements in IOL power calculation and SIA control for predictable cataract surgery outcomes.
  • To analyze methods for predicting postoperative anterior chamber depth and managing SIA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent theoretical IOL power formulas.
  • Evaluation of methods for determining and controlling SIA.
  • Analysis of wound architecture, closure techniques, and astigmatic keratotomy.

Main Results:

  • Improved IOL formulas enhance prediction accuracy by better estimating anterior chamber depth.
  • Reliable methods for SIA determination and control have been developed.
  • Various surgical techniques impact SIA, offering options for management.

Conclusions:

  • Cataract surgery now offers high predictability of refractive outcomes.
  • Advances in IOL calculation and SIA management are key to achieving desired visual results.
  • Understanding surgical technique's impact on SIA is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
