title: Echobiometric evaluation of the axial length of the eye and intraocular lens calculation in pseudophakic eyes: our experience.
abstract: Intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in 46 pseudophakic eyes (extracapsular cataract extraction with IOL in posterior chamber), utilizing a Javal keratometer, a Sonomed A 2000 echobiometer (probe 10 MHz, velocity=1,548 m/s) and the SRK2 formula, although there was a statistically significant reduction of the axial length, both in normal and hyperopic eyes, demonstrated no statistically significant differences of IOL power, when compared to the power previously calculated in the phakic eye.
