Abstract
Accurate intraocular lens power calculation is an important adjunct to the technique of extracapsular cataract extraction. An increasing number of ophthalmologists now perform preoperative biometry routinely. We studied a group of fifty patients and analysed the accuracy of intraocular lens power calculation using the SRKā¢ formula.
