Repeatability and agreement of ocular biometry measurements: Aladdin versus Lenstar

“…With cataract surgery being one of the most commonly performed procedures worldwide,24–26 assessment of the devices used in this field is important in the pursuit of advancing the field and improving outcomes for patients 27. Furthermore, with the rise in patient expectation with cataract surgery,28 29 increasing use of multifocal and pseudo-accommodative IOLs, and co-correction of refractive errors, the final refractive outcome is of utmost importance 30.…”

Effects of multifocal soft contact lenses used to slow myopia progression on quality of vision in young adults

“…Rasch analysis is the gold standard in questionnaire development and validation (Gothwal et al. ; Khadka et al. , , ; McAlinden et al.…”

Subjective Quality of Vision Before and After Cataract Surgery

“…These improvements in quality of vision are in line with improvements using quality of life scores and visual functioning after cataract surgery, which may indicate a relationship between these latent traits. 18 Despite an overall large sample size, the sample sizes are smaller within each group, which indicates a limitation of the study. Assuming the same differences found here, sample sizes of 4921 in each group would be required to find differences due to ocular comorbidity, with much larger samples required to find differences between first and second eye results (80% power, type I error of .001 to account for multiple comparisons).…”
