    A new equation for intraocular lens (IOL) refractive power calculation was developed using Gaussian optics and thick-lens imaging techniques.

    The study included 54 patients with age-related cataracts who underwent phacoemulsification and IOL implantation at Ningbo Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

  • 3

    The new IOL power calculation formula showed a median predictive error of 0.060 D, significantly lower than established formulas like Barrett Universal II and Hoffer Q.

  • 4

    The new equation achieved the highest percentage of eyes within ±0.25 D at 43.3%, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy compared to other formulas.

    This innovative IOL computation method enhances systematic bias management and offers a promising approach for individualized IOL power calculations.
