研究目的
To review the literature in 2017 and 2018 pertaining to biometry for cataract surgery and report pertinent findings.
研究成果
New swept-source OCT biometers improve axial length measurement in dense cataracts, CAR enhances toric IOL outcomes, intraoperative aberrometry benefits myopic eyes, and the BU2 IOL formula is reliable across axial lengths. These advancements enhance predictability in cataract surgery, but new equipment may not be necessary for all surgeons due to diminishing returns on investment.
研究不足
The review is limited to literature from 2017 and 2018, potentially missing earlier or later advancements. It relies on the quality and scope of the cited studies, which may have their own limitations, such as small sample sizes or specific patient populations. The findings may not be generalizable to all clinical settings, especially in resource-limited areas.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The paper is a review of existing literature, not an experimental study. It synthesizes findings from multiple studies on biometry devices, techniques, and formulas used in cataract surgery.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Data are sourced from published studies in 2017 and 2018, including clinical trials, meta-analyses, and comparative studies involving various biometers and IOL formulas.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not applicable as this is a review paper; it references equipment from cited studies.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Not applicable; the paper summarizes procedures from reviewed studies, such as axial length measurement and IOL power calculation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The review involves qualitative synthesis and comparison of outcomes from different studies, including statistical measures like prediction error and variance.
