“…It is necessary to evaluate the clinical impact of the difference between preoperative and postoperative AL measurements found in the present study. A measurement error in AL of 0.10 mm corresponds to approximately 0.28 diopters (D) [9,11]. In our study, this equivalence results in a refractive error of about 0.53 D. As the intraocular lens power goes in 0.50 D steps for the SN60WF model, and 1.00 D steps for the MA60MA model, we consider the difference found in this study is not clinically significant.…”

“…Como fator favorável às mensurações da biometria ocular, ressalta-se o fato das mesmas terem sido obtidas pelo mesmo aparelho, além de serem realizadas por um examinador único e com rotina de exame, em consonância ao referido por Findl et al (2003).…”

“…[13][14][15][16] This method has been reported to have a high degree of intraoperator and interoperator reproducibility. [4] Placement of the probe on the corneal center can lead to operator-dependent errors due to offcenter placement (thicker measurements) , [17,18] indentation (thinner readings) [19] are the drawbacks of pachymeter. Disadvantages like patient discomfort, epithelial damage and risk of infection also exist.…”
