Prediction errors of formulas in optical biometers
This study was conducted retrospectively in a private practice setting. Nine formulas were compared for prediction error (postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) minus, predicted SE calculated by each formula), using two optical biometers (Lenstar – optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) and...What’s next in retinal imaging? Faster, deeper and full-on
