Comparison of ocular biometry obtained with Tomey OA-2000 and IOLMaster 700 in silicone oil-filled eyes

Purpose To evaluate a new non-contact instrument (OA-2000) measuring the ocular biometry parameters of silicone oil (SO)-filled aphakia eyes, as compared with IOLMaster 700. Methods Forty SO-filled aphakia eyes of 40 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional clinical trial. The axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), keratometry (Kf [flattest keratometry] and Ks [steep keratometry, 90° apart from Kf]), and axis of the Kf (Ax1) measured with OA-2000 were compared with those measured with IOLMaster 700. The agreements of the results between the two devices were evaluated by Bland-Altman analysis. The differences of measurement results were evaluated by paired t test, and the correlation was evaluated by the Pearson coefficient. Results The mean AL obtained with the OA-2000 was 23.57 ± 0.93mm (range: 21.50 to 25.68mm), and that obtained with the IOLMaster 700 was 23.69 ± 0.94mm (range: 21.85 to 25.86mm), resulting in a mean offset of 0.124 ± 0.125mm (p t test of the Kf, Ks and Ax1. The CCT obtained with the OA-2000 was 530.7 ± 30.9µm (range: 470 to 578µm), and that obtained with the IOLMaster 700 was 545.3 ± 33.9µm (range: 479 to 600µm). The average offset was 14.6 ± 7.5µm, p
