Methods: A total of 48 eyes from 29 patients with AL \u2264 22 mm were included. AL, anterior chamber depth (ACD), keratometry (K), and lens thickness (LT) measured using the IOLMaster\u00ae 700 and ARGOS\u00ae before cataract surgery were compared. The refractive error prediction accuracy of the two devices was also compared. Results: This study included four men (7 eyes) and 25 women (41 eyes), with an average age of 70.7 \u00b1 8.1 years (mean \u00b1 SD; range, 47\u201382 years). The two devices demonstrated good agreement in measurements of ocular biometry with high intraclass correlation coefficients (AL = 0.975; ACD = 0.957; K = 0.988; LT = 0.994). However, AL and ACD were significantly shorter when measured with the IOLMaster\u00ae 700 compared to the ARGOS\u00ae (p &lt; 0.001 for both). There was no significant difference in mean absolute prediction errors between the two devices (p = 0.423). The IOLMaster\u00ae 700 showed a significantly lower mean prediction error than the ARGOS\u00ae (+0.12 \u00b1 0.39 diopters vs. +0.20 \u00b1 0.39 diopters, p = 0.006), although the difference was of limited clinical relevance. There were no significant differences in the percentages of eyes within \u00b1 0.50 D (77.1% vs. 75.0%, p = 0.811) and \u00b1 1.00 D (100% vs. 97.9%, p = 0.315) of the predicted refractive error. Conclusions: Although IOLMaster\u00ae 700 and ARGOS\u00ae showed good agreements in eyes with short AL, significant differences were observed in the measurements of AL and ACD. Both devices demonstrated good efficacy and comparable performance in predicting postoperative refractive errors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering12090983","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,17]],"date-time":"2025-09-17T05:59:51Z","timestamp":1758088791000},"page":"983","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ocular Biometry and Refractive Prediction in Short Eyes: A Comparison of Two Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography-Based Biometers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jiyun","family":"Seong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Saevit Eye Hospital, 1065 Jungang-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang 10447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4757-1575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang Beom","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saevit Eye Hospital, 1065 Jungang-ro, Ilsandong-gu, Goyang 10447, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.52725\/aocl.2023.22.3.98","article-title":"Clinical Results of Cataract Surgery Using the Primus-HD\u00ae Intraocular Lens","volume":"22","author":"Jung","year":"2023","journal-title":"Ann.
