Regional comparison of preoperative biometry for cataract surgery between two domestic institutions

ConclusionsThere were significant differences in the mean keratometric readings, the anterior chamber depth, the axial length, and the lens thickness, by approximately 0.3  D, 0.3 mm, 0.6 mm, and 0.3 mm, respectively. Regional variations of the preoperative biometry did exist to some extent, and were not clinically negligible, in consideration of the precise IOL power calculation and the subsequent refractive accuracy of cataract surgery.Trial registrationUniversity Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry (000037994).
