dc.description.abstractObjectives: To evaluate the reliability of optical biometry for correct intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in eyeswith macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) via comparing the axial lengths (AL) measured with opticalbiometry preoperatively and postoperatively.Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with 25 eyes of 25 patients who underwent combined surgery (phacoemulsificationand pars plana vitrectomy (PPV)) with the diagnosis of RRD with macular involvement. Best-correctedvisual acuity (BCVA), biomicroscopic examination, intraocular pressure measurement and full fundoscopic examinationwere performed in all patients. Axial length was measured using optical biometry in all patients. The AL measurementswere repeated in the postoperative third month in the patients using gas tamponade during vitreoretinal surgery and inthe third month after the silicone oil removal in patients using silicone-oil tamponade during vitreoretinal surgery.Results: The mean age of the patients was 61.60±7.33. Fifteen patients (60%) were female, and 10 (40%) were male.Postoperative BCVA values (0.40±0.28) were significantly higher than the preoperative BCVA values (0.14±0.22) (p<0.05).The preoperative mean value of AL was measured as 24.66±1.90 and the postoperative mean value of AL was 24.67±1.91.There was no statistically significant difference between the measured AL values in the preoperative and postoperativeperiods (p=0.258).Conclusion: Combined surgery (phacoemulsification and PPV) is a frequently applied method in RRD treatment. Thecorrect AL measurement is important for the removal of refractive errors due to AL measurement in patients with macula-off RRD. Optical biometry provides accurate results in these casesen_US
