importance of accurate anterior chamber depth measurement in intraocular lens power calculation

ABSTRACT

A prospective study was done on one-hundred [100] cases of extracapsular cataract surgery with posterior chamber intraocular senses. Two parameters were studied carefully in relation to intraocular lens [IOL] power selection accuracy of postoperative anterior chamber depth [ACD] and changes in corneal power. Of these two parameters, changes in anterior chamber depth have far greater effect than changes in corneal power upon the accuracy intraocular lens power selection
