Abstract
Objective:
To assess the repeatability and reproducibility of axial length obtained by the optical biometer IOLMaster 500 in children aged 2-6 years.
Methods:
One hundred and two right eyes from 102 children were included in this cross-sectional study from Eye Hospital, Wenzhou Medical University from December 2016 to March 2017. Each eye was measured by two experienced operators using the IOLMaster 500 with 3 consecutive measurements. To evaluate intraoperator repeatability using repeated measurement ANOVA, Bland-Altman plots, and use paired samples t test and so on to analyze data.
Results:
The axial length obtained by the IOLMaster 500 showed high repeatability (95%LoA within -0.04 to 0.04 mm, and ICC was 1.000). The reproducibility of axial length was also high (95%LoA within -0.04 to 0.03 mm, Sw<0.01mm, 2.77 Sw<0.03 mm, CoV<0.05%). The width of the 95%LoA was reduced by 42.86% using averaged results rather than the result of a single measurement.
Conclusions:
Axial lengths obtained by the IOLMaster 500 in children aged 2-6 years shows high repeatability and reproducibility. In addition, the mean value of 3 consecutive measurements is better than that of a single measurement.
