Introduction.
Previous cataract surgery studies assumed that first-eye predicted and observed postoperative refractions are equally important for predicting second-eye postoperative refraction.
Methods.
In a retrospective analysis of 173 patients having bilateral sequential phacoemulsification, multivariable linear regression was used to predict the second-eye postoperative refraction based on refractions predicted by the SRK-T formula for both eyes, the first-eye postoperative refraction, and the difference in IOL selected between eyes.
Results.
The first-eye observed postoperative refraction was an independent predictor of the second eye postoperative refraction (P<0.001) and was weighted more heavily than the first-eye predicted refraction.
Compared with the SRK-T formula, this model reduced the root-mean-squared (RMS) error of the predicted refraction by 11.3%.
Conclusions.
The first-eye postoperative refraction is an independent predictor of the second-eye postoperative refraction.
The first-eye predicted refraction is less important.
These findings may be due to interocular symmetry.
