Narrative Responses:

Purpose
A new optical biometer has been released (Aladdin) and its accuracy compared to standard optical biometry is needed.

Methods
A prospective study was performed on 200 patients by measuring AL using the new biometer and using the standard biometer (IOLMaster.) The right eye of the patients was selected to compare the accuracy of the AL and corneal power measurements as well as the IOL power prediction after surgery.

Results
The results of our analysis will be reported and revised for the abstract CD.

Conclusion
It is estimated that the new biometer will have some differences in AL and K results from those with the standard biometer but may not be statistically significant.
