Anterior pIOL edge to endothelium distance measurements by AS-OCT and Scheimpflug imaging have good intra- and inter-observer reliability. However, as AS-OCT provides larger measurements, these two modalities cannot be used interchangeably. Correction of this difference might be essential for proper decision-making during pre-operative screening for pIOL implantation and post-operative safety monitoring.
