Title: Measurement of axial length in an office setting versus under general anesthesia in infants and toddlers: a comparative study
Abstract: One of the major obstacles facing the pediatric cataract surgeon is to obtain good quality axial length (AL) measurements for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations in a young uncooperative patient. The typically higher IOL powers needed may not be commonly stocked in every center. If a general anesthesia (GA) based AL is needed this might necessitate an additional operating room session. The purpose of this study is to examine whether AL measurement in awake infant/toddlers is feasible, and whether there is a difference in AL measurement between an office setting and under GA.
