Our results show a statistically and clinically highly relevant reduction of IOL power predictability when using the AL of the FE for IOL calculation. Using the AL of the SO filled eye after initial vitrectomy results in significantly better postoperative refractive results. A two-step procedure using the AL of the OE after reattachment of the retina is highly recommended.
