Comparative analysis of refractive outcomes following cataract surgery using IOL Master 500 and IOL Master 700 biometry devices: a retrospective analysis

Abstract: Background: This study aims to compare the refractive outcomes of cataract surgery using two different biometry devices, the IOL Master 500 and IOL Master 700, and to investigate the influence of patient-related factors on these outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed data from 2994 eyes that underwent cataract surgery. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to examine the impact of the biometry device (IOL Master 500 or IOL Master 700), patient age, time elapsed between biometry and surgery, gender, and insurance status, as well as biometric parameters (anterior chamber depth, axial length, and corneal curvature), on postoperative refractive outcomes, specifically the deviation from target refraction. Results: The choice of the IOL Master device did not result in a statistically significant difference between the two devices (p = 0.205). Age (p = 0.006) and gender (p = 0.001) were identified as significant predictors of refractive outcomes, with older patients and males experiencing slightly more hyperopic outcomes compared to younger patients and females, respectively. The time elapsed between biometry and surgery and insurance status did not significantly influence the refractive outcomes. Conclusions: Our study, supported by a large cohort and a diverse group of patients representing typical anatomical variants seen in cataract surgery, supports the thesis that the IOL Master 500 and IOL Master 700 can be regarded as equivalent and effective for biometry in cataract surgery. The differences between the devices were negligible. Therefore, switching between the devices is safe for bilateral patients
