| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Relevant keratometric and biometric indicators are necessary for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, which is difficult to verify in young children. AIM: Evaluation of the accuracy of various ultrasound methods and optical biometry for axial length measurement in young children with congenital cataracts. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-six children (74 eyes) with congenital cataracts (43 eyes) and pseudophakia (31 eyes) at the age of 6 months to 4 years were examined. Various methods measured the axial length: ultrasound A-scan under general anesthesia by US-4000, ultrasound B-scan without general anesthesia by Voluson E8, and optical biometry by AL-Scan in cases of transparent optics. RESULTS: The greater axial length difference was observed between A-scan and optical biometry (less by 0,78 mm) than between B-scan and optical biometry (more by 0,27 mm). The median axial length difference between A-scan and B-scan was equal for infants and young children with congenital cataracts (0,525 mm and 0,535 mm, respectively). CONCLUSION: Axial length should be measured by different methods in young children with their further comparison to obtaining more accurate biometric indicators for IOL power calculation. The decrease of 12 mm in axial length, which occurs during the A-scan, can lead to errors in the IOL calculation of 36 diopters and unplanned refraction in the long-term period. |
