Relationship between pterygium and biometric error in intraocular lens calculation for cataract surgery
Objective: To evaluate the effect of pterygium on different biometric intraocular lens calculation formulas. Methods: This is an interventionist, prospective, and non-randomized study. We included patients who underwent pterygium surgery and performed a biometric examination before and one month after surgery. We compared the mean variability between these measurements in each intraocular lens formula. We classified the patients according to the TAN staging system and evaluated the effect of pterygium magnitude on biometric variability. Results: We included 25 eyes [...]
