Abstract

Purpose
We compared optical biometric measurements made using new swept-source optical-coherence tomography, low-coherence reflectometry, autokeratometry, and A-scan biometry.
Methods
In total, 86 eyes of 47 patients were included. Axial length, lens thickness, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, and corneal curvature were measured using the Anterion® (Heidelberg Engineering, inc., Heidelberg, Germany) and Lenstar LS 900® (Haag-Streit AG, Koeniz, Switzerland) platforms. Corneal curvature and axial length were measured using the Essilor AKR 750® (Essilor instruments, France, Charenton-le-Pont) and PacScan 300A® (Sonomed Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) platforms, respectively. The evaluated biometric parameters were compared and verified; intraclass correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots were used to analyze statistical agreement.
Results
The differences between the Anterion® and Lenstar LS 900® platforms in terms of axial length, lens thickness, central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, and white-to-white diameter were -0.02 ± 0.08, 0.08 ± 0.13, -2.66 ± 11.12, 0.05 ± 0.12, and 0.08 ± 0.26, respectively. All values were statistically significant. The mean corneal curvature between Anterion® and Lenstar LS 900® had a statistically significant difference of -0.08 ± 0.47, while the difference between the Anterion® and AKR 750® platforms was not significant. Biometric parameters measured using an Anterion® and other devices showed a strong positive correlation when assessed using Pearson’s correlation analysis; there was good agreement between the results when analyzed using intraclass correlation coefficients and Bland-Altman plots.
Conclusions
Optical biometric measurements made using the Anterion® platform were not significantly different from those obtained using other devices, but there were significant differences compared to the Lenstar LS 900® platform. Since these significant differences could influence decision making during intraocular lens selection for cataract surgery, the values are clinically useful for reference.
