Comparison of biometry measurements using standard partial coherence interferometry vs new scheimpflug tomography with integrated axial length capability
Clinical Ophthalmology Feb 11, 2020
Haddad JS, et al. - In this retrospective study involving 92 individuals (166 eyes), researchers contrasted biometry measurements obtained by a partial interferometer biometer (IOLMaster 500) to the new Scheimpflug tomography with an integrated axial length biometer module (Pentacam AXL). Participants in the study were cataract patients who had femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery at the Waring Vision Institute, South Carolina, between July 2017 and November 2017. Comparisons for axial length (AL), keratometry (K), and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were carried out. In order to evaluate the differences between devices, Paired Student’s t-tests and Bland-Altman plots were utilized. According to findings, both devices provided comparable measurements of AL and flat K, although statistically significant differences occurred in measurements of ACD, steep K, and mean K.
