Abstract

IOL power calculation has evolved significantly over the past few years, techniques which were considered gold standard are obsolete now. Practical tips on how to ensure optimum results will be discussed.

1)K yesterday and today – will discuss on basic aspects of kertometric measurements, advantages and drawbacks of keratometers, when to use topographers, significance of true K and integrated K

2) Ultrasound biometery- Does it have a role in todays practice? Yes with caution

3) Why Optical biometery-To explain working mechanism of optcal biometers and how it scores over ultrasound biometers in special situations

4) Why Barrets for all eyes -To explain how newer generation formula score over older formulae, significance of ELP, advantages of barrets formula over others and how to use barrets formula effectively.

5) biometry in special situations – biometry in special situations include nanophthalmic eyes, posterior staphyloma, post refractive surgery and irregular/ectatic corneas
