PURPOSE: To compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation methods for post-myopic excimer laser surgery patients without previous refractive surgery data using the Holladay IOL Consultant Program and the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) IOL Power Calculator. SETTING: Wang Vision Cataract and LASIK Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA. DESIGN: Case series. METHODS: Eight methods were used to calculate IOL power: Holladay 2 partial coherence interferometry (PCI)-K, Holladay 2 FlatK, Wang-Koch-Maloney, Shammas No-History, Haigis-L, ASCRS-Average, ASCRS-Min, and ASCRS-Max. The optimum IOL power corresponding to the target refraction was back-calculated using the stable post-cataract surgery refraction and implanted IOL power. Using the optimum IOL power, the predicted IOL power error and the resultant refractive error with each method were calculated and compared. RESULTS: The Holladay 2 FlatK method was most accurate for IOL power calculation, followed by the Holladay 2 PCI-K, ASCRS-Min, Wang-Koch-Maloney, ASCRS-Average, Shammas No-History, Haigis-L, and ASCRS-Max. Statistically significant differences were observed between Holladay 2 FlatK and Holladay 2 PCI-K (P<.05), Wang-Koch-Maloney and ASCRS-Average (P<.05), and Haigis-L and ASCRS-Max (P<.01). No statistically significant differences were observed between the Holladay 2 PCI-K, ASCRS-Min, and Wang-Koch-Maloney or between the ASCRS-Average, Shammas No-History, and Haigis-L (both P>.05). CONCLUSIONS: The Holladay 2 FlatK method provided the most accurate IOL power in eyes without previous myopic laser surgery data. If the Holladay IOL Consultant Program is unavailable, the ASCRS methods can be used; the ASCRS-Min represents the most accurate method.
