title: A BASIC program for deriving linear regression formulas for intraocular lens power prediction.
abstract: We present an original BASIC program written specifically for the ophthalmologist that allows calculation of linear regression formulas for prediction of emmetropic lens power from the surgeon's own data. The program features ongoing data storage, options for analyzing specific ranges (such as longer axial lengths), and calculation of residuals. The program is user-friendly and may be used with minimal computer knowledge. The authors will copy the program at no charge on a user's initialized diskette.
