Özet

Intraocular Lens Power Calculation After Keratorefractive Surgery When routine methods are used in intraocular lens (TOL) power calculation in cataractous eyes that have had undergone incisional or photoablative keratorefractive surgery, refractive er-rors are hequently seen following the cataract surgery. The 2 important sources of error in bio-metry are the Incorrect determination of the corneal power (inability to measure the anterior corneal curvature correctly and inability to convert this measurement to the total corneal power. due to changed refractive index of the cornea) and incorrect estimation of the effective lens po-sition in IOL power calculation formulas.
