IOL power calculation formulas used:  Double-K Holladay 1, Shammas-PL, & Haigis-L.

With the Double-K Holladay 1 formula, the pre-LASIK/PRK corneal power is used to estimate the effective lens position (ELP) (so-called Double-K approach).  If pre-LASIK/PRK corneal power is not available, 43.86 D is used.


For 52 eyes from Dr. Hill's and Dr. Koch's practices, there was a trend for greater accuracy with the formulas in the middle and right-hand columns.
