OBJECTIVES: To compare the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas in patients undergoing phacoemulsification combined with gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (phaco-GATT) and to determine the predictive factors for refractive errors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-three eyes of 53 patients undergoing phaco-GATT were retrospectively reviewed. The preoperative and postoperative 3-month anterior segment (AS) parameters were measured by Scheimpflug camera. The mean prediction error (PE), mean absolute error (MAE) in the Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraft/theoretical (SRK/T), Barrett- Universal II, Hill-radial basis function (Hill-RBF) and Kane formulas were compared. The influence of biometric parameters on PE were analyzed by correlation analysis. RESULTS: Postoperatively, there was a statistically significant decrease in axial length (AL) and significant enlargement in anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), and anterior chamber volume (p<0.001). The mean PE using SRK/T (-0.08 diopters [D]) was more myopic than in the Barret (0.01 D) and Hill-RBF (0.01 D). The PE closest to zero was in the Kane formula (0.001 D). The Kane formula provided a lower MAE (0.30±0.28 D) than the SRK/T (0.38±0.32 D) and Barrett (0.36±0.30 D) (p<0.001). The MAE in Hill-RBF (0.32±0.28) was comparable with that in Kane (p=0.02). Preoperative AL was significantly associated with PE in all formulas except Kane. Barrett was the only formula that did not have a significant correlation between PE and postoperative ACD and ACA. CONCLUSION: The Kane formula may provide higher predictability of the IOL power calculation than the SRK/T and Barrett-Universal II formulas in phaco-GATT surgery, which can cause significant changes in the AS and AL.
