Abstract
One hundred and fifty-one eyes with anterior chamber implants and a best corrected visual acuity of at least 6/12 were studied to compare the predictive accuracies of the newer generation intraocular lens power calculation formulae. There was no statistically significant difference between the predictive accuracies of the SRK (Sanders—Retzlaff—Kraff), SRK II, SRK/Theoretical (SRK/T) and Holladay formulae. All these four formulae were more accurate than the Binkhorst II formula.
