Abstract

The article focuses on the evaluation of retinal and peripapillary vascular changes in newly diagnosed acute leukemia patients using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), and a comparative study on the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation methods post-phacoemulsification cataract surgery. In leukemia patients, significant decreases were observed in superficial capillary plexus and radial peripapillary capillary density, with larger foveal avascular zone area and reduced central macular thickness compared to healthy controls. Additionally, retinal thickness and vessel density showed variable changes related to disease activity and treatment duration. In the cataract study, Sirius Scheimpflug tomography demonstrated greater accuracy in predicting postoperative refraction than the Nidek optical biometer AL-scan, suggesting its superiority for IOL power calculation.
