Compliance with ophthalmology biometry guidelines has improved, with increased use of modern axial length measurement methods and A constant customization. Further updates are needed to incorporate best practices like partial coherence laser interferometry.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Biometry
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Biometry is crucial for accurate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation.
  • The Royal College of Ophthalmologists (RCOphth) provides guidelines for biometry practices.
  • Previous national audits highlighted areas for improvement in biometry compliance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess changes in adherence to RCOphth biometry guidelines over two years.
  • To quantify the adoption of advanced axial length measurement techniques.
  • To evaluate the extent of A constant customization in IOL calculations.

Main Methods:

  • A structured telephone questionnaire was administered to biometrists across UK ophthalmology departments.
  • Data was collected from 94 out of 178 UK ophthalmology departments.

  • The survey compared current practices with data from two years prior.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased use of nurses for biometry (67% vs 51%) and more biometrists attending training (45% vs 37%).
    • Greater adoption of RCOphth-recommended IOL formulae (SRK-T, Hoffer Q, Holladay) and increased prediction error audits (78% vs 71%).
    • Significant rise in partial coherence laser interferometry use (61% vs 35%); A constant customization reported in 47% of departments.

    Conclusions:

    • Improved implementation of RCOphth biometry guidelines observed over the past two years.
    • Guidelines require updating to include routine partial coherence laser interferometry/immersion biometry and A constant customization.
    • Establishment of a benchmark for refractive prediction accuracy (85-90% within 1D) is recommended.
