Editor, T he improved refractive outcome in cataract surgery is mainly due to the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas and precise ocular biometric measurements including measurements of the anterior chamber depth (ACD). Each formula uses a specific algorithm to predict the effective IOL position (Olsen 2007). A postoperative pseudophakic ACD measurement can evaluate the exactness of this prediction and can furthermore evaluate distinct IOL designs impact on axial IOL movements (Luft et al. 2015). The IOLMaster (Carl Zeiss, Meditec AG, Germany) measures the ACD by slit illumination and subsequent image evaluation. The Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany) uses a rotating Scheimpflug camera to construct a three-dimensional image and provides the ACD and the anterior chamber volume (ACV). This study assessed the agreement of ACD measurements between the IOLMaster and the Pentacam in phakic and pseudophakic eyes, and assessed the correlation between the ACD and the ACV. The ACD was defined as the distance between the anterior surface of the cornea and the anterior surface of the lens/IOL, which is the definition usually used in IOL power calculation formulas. We examined 178 eyes (114 phakic and 64 pseudophakic eyes) without corneal opacities, synechiaes, or previous cornea or glaucoma surgery. The pseudophakic eyes had previously undergone uneventful phacoemulsification and in-the-bag IOL implantation. The mean of five measurements was recorded on the IOLMaster, and the 25-picture setting was selected on the Pentacam. Measurements on the two devices were performed sequentially on the same day, and the same experienced examiner (H.H.) performed all measurements. Correlation analysis and paired t-test for each subgroup (phakic and pseudophakic) was conducted using SAS software (release 9.4; SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). The mean age was 69 years, and 47% were female. As stated in Table 1, there was good agreement between the two devices in measuring the ACD in phakic eyes, and the mean difference of 0.03 mm between the devices was quite small and not statistically significant. The ACD correlates strongly with the ACV in phakic eyes. In contrary, in pseudophakic eyes, the ACD measurements were highly significantly different between the two devices, and the Pentacam measured the ACD on average 0.53 mm longer than the IOLMaster. The standard deviation was greater in both devices in pseudophakic eyes, and the ACD-ACV correlation was weak. Unlike ultrasound measurement that is operator-dependent and hand-held, both the Pentacam and the IOLMaster use optical noncontact methods to measure the ACD. Correct alignment is crucial to avoid off-axis measurement. In this study, we found that phakic eyes had comparable ACD measurements suggesting that measurements obtained from both devices can be regarded as interchangeable (Utine et al. 2009). Both devices require clear reflections from the corneal surface and the lens/IOL to determine the position of the anterior surface of the lens/IOL. Nonetheless, the reflecting properties of the IOL could interfere with this determination, and the inaccuracy and the disagreement between the devices in pseudophakic eyes may be due to difficulties in this determination (Kriechbaum et al. 2003). In conclusion, in phakic eyes there was good agreement of ACD measurements between the IOLMaster and the Pentacam. In pseudophakic eyes, the ACD measurements were different and not interchangeable between the devices.
