Abstract

Variations of 0.5 D in predicted refraction between the different intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulae may occur in 19.4% cases. This has implications when reporting refractive surprise. It also shows that it is beneficial to consider more than one IOL formula when choosing IOL power for cataract surgery.
