Discussion This study demonstrated the advantages of the Barrett True-K formula in eyes for both post-my- opic and post-hyperopic ablation. The authors demonstrated how the Barrett True-K formula produced the highest proportion of eyes within 0.25 D and 0.50 D of the target refraction, lowest mean and absolute refractive error, and lowest standard deviation of those errors. In ad- dition, for 12 post-myopic and 6 post-hyperopic outliers, the Barrett True-K still outperformed all other formulas. This finding is significant because the Barrett True-K formula is embedded into the IOLMaster and Lenstar, improving convenience and eliminating the possibility for transcription error when transferring data into the online diction errors were also analyzed. There was a statistically significant difference in the varianc- es between the absolute refractive errors of all calculators, and post-hoc paired t-tests showed that the Barrett True-K also had the lowest stan- dard deviation and residual absolute refractive error compared to all other formulas for both myopic and hyperopic ablations. In addition, the Barrett True-K achieved the highest proportion of eyes with postop refrac- tion within 0.25 D (44.8%) and within 0.50 D (71.9%), though this difference was not statisti- cally different from the ASCRS mean proportion (38.3% for within 0.25 D and 65.6% within 0.50 D). Outlier analysis was also performed for eyes with greater than 1.00 D of IOL prediction error. In 12 post-myopic eyes and 6 post-hy- peropic eyes where the IOL prediction error of the Barrett True-K was greater than 1.00 D, no other formula outperformed the Barrett True-K, continued on page 18 From left: Sri Meghana Konda, MD, Ellis Wisely, MD, Cason Robbins, MD, James Tian, MD, and Pratap Challa, MD Source: Duke University
