A new Investigator‑Initiated Trial manuscript is now available: “A Retrospective Trial Comparing Prediction Accuracy of Three Biometers in Short, Medium and Long Eyes.” This retrospective study compared the performance of three biometry devices across varying axial lengths, highlighting the importance of precise preoperative measurements for optimal refractive outcomes. The findings support strong overall prediction accuracy across all three biometers, reinforcing their reliability in both routine and challenging eye lengths. 🔗 Read the full article: doi.org/10.2147/opth.s… [IIT YTD 20...BS_cpv AP | Excel] Supported by Alcon through an Investigator‑Initiated Trial. ➡️ If you're interested in submitting an IIT proposal, visit: alconscience.com/clinical-resea… This content is intended for US health care professionals only.
