Abstract
We compared the refractive outcomes of optical coherence biometry and applanation ultrasound biometry in 17 high-myopic eyes with posterior pole staphyloma. The optical coherence biometry provided more accurate IOL power calculations than applanation ultrasound biometry in patients with high myopia and posterior pole staphyloma.
