The Pentacam AXL and IOL Master 700 are often used for optical biometry and they are available in the market today. They can also be used to measure the parameters needed in the IOL calculation using the latest generation formulas, such as the Barett Universal II. Therefore, this study aims to compare the accuracy of refraction results between Pentacam AXL compared to IOL Master 700 after cataract surgery with the Barett Universal-II formula. Method: A total of 64 eyes from 64 patients who had a preoperative examination with IOL Master 700 and Pentacam AXL were included in this study. Parameters such as K, ACD, LT, WTW, and AL were then compared between the two tools. Prediction error values were also calculated and compared based on the difference between the Spherical equivalent (SE) of subjective refraction results after 4 weeks of surgery with their refractive prediction targets. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the parameters measured from the two tools except ACD and WTW. Furthermore, LT was difficult to obtain on the Pentacam AXL due to penetration problems, as well as in patients with significant lens opacities. The percentage of error prediction values that reach ± 0.50 D on Pentacam AXL and IOL Master 700 was 70.3% and 73.5%, respectively. However, the average prediction error that was close to emmetropia with IOL Master 700 was greater compared to the other tool. Conclusion: Pentacam AXL has a fairly good accuracy for refraction prediction compared to IOL Master 700. However, it is still necessary to optimize its constants to obtain optimal results.展开更多
