Effect of Cycloplegia on Optical Biometry in Pediatric Eyes

Ocular biometry refers to the various anatomical measurements of the eye. Accuracy of ocular biometry and intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation are essential for reaching the target refraction after cataract surgery, which is one of the most common ophthalmic surgeries.1,2 Apart from IOL power calculation, ocular biometry provides useful information that contributes to our knowledge and understanding of ocular pharmacokinetics, aqueous humor dynamics, work-up of patients with glaucoma, and planning of refractive surgeries. Optical biometers use infrared light to perform analyses and have
