Is it possible to measure pseudophakic eyes with the keratometer?
This depends on the intensity of reflections additionally produced at the IOL. If the additionally visible six light dots are faint, you can measure the eye without any problems. If they are strong, measurements are impossible. This depends on the curvature of the implanted IOL. If the additional light dots are so strong that the measurement is impossible, you can slightly defocus the IOLMaster (approximately 1-2 mm). In this way, the additional reflections become so faint that they do not disturb the measurement. Meanwhile, defocusing the instrument by 1 to 2 mm will affect the results only insignificantly.
