Clear lens extraction effectively corrects hyperopia, with the Holladay formula offering better accuracy for intraocular lens power selection. This safe procedure improves visual acuity, though predictability decreases for lower hyperopia levels.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Refractive Surgery

Background:

  • Hyperopia correction presents challenges in achieving precise refractive outcomes.
  • Intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation is critical for successful refractive surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and efficacy of clear lens extraction with IOL implantation for hyperopia correction.
  • To identify the most accurate IOL power selection method for hyperopia.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 20 clear lens extraction with IOL implantation procedures.
  • Evaluation of SRK II and Holladay formulas for IOL power calculation using postoperative refraction.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) from 20/200 to 20/30.

  • 89% of eyes achieved 20/40 or better UCVA; all achieved 20/25 or better best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
  • The Holladay formula demonstrated superior accuracy over the SRK II formula in predicting postoperative refraction, reducing residual hyperopia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Clear lens extraction with IOL implantation is a safe and effective hyperopia correction method.
    • Predictability is reduced for hyperopia below +3.00 D.
    • The Holladay formula, targeting -1.00 D, yields favorable visual and refractive outcomes, warranting further investigation with larger cohorts.
