This study evaluated the agreement of biometric measurements between a swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS\u2013OCT) biometer (Argos\u00ae, Movu Inc.) and an optical low-coherence interferometry (OLCI) biometer (Aladdin\u00ae, Topcon Corp.). Parameters analyzed included axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), keratometry (K1, K2), and white-to-white corneal diameter (WTW). Methods: A total of 170 eyes were examined, and agreement was assessed using Bland\u2013Altman analysis, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Excellent agreement was observed for AL (ICC = 0.975), ACD (ICC = 0.960), LT (ICC = 0.951), K1 (ICC = 0.921), and K2 (ICC = 0.927). Moderate agreement was found for astigmatism axis (ICC = 0.655) and cylinder power (ICC = 0.891). Poor agreement was noted for astigmatism-related Jackson cross-cylinder vectors J0 (ICC = 0.334) and J45 (ICC = \u22120.311), as well as for WTW (ICC = 0.338). Bland\u2013Altman plots demonstrated narrow limits of agreement for most parameters, with mean differences of 0.009 mm for AL and 0.06 mm for ACD. Conclusions: Both devices demonstrated high degrees of agreement for core biometric parameters, supporting their clinical interchangeability. However, the variability in WTW and astigmatism-related measurements highlights the need for caution when precise corrections are required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14051407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,20]],"date-time":"2025-02-20T04:03:17Z","timestamp":1740024197000},"page":"1407","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Agreement in Biometric Parameters Between Swept-Source\u2013Optical Coherence Tomography and Optical Low-Coherence Interferometry: Insights into Clinical Precision"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9526-2211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihnea","family":"Munteanu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Oftalmo Sensory-Tumor Research Center\u2014ORL (EYE-ENT), \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6078-1505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leila","family":"Al Barri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simona","family":"Stanca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics Department, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020022 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4950-9962","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valeria","family":"Mocanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"},{"name":"Oftalmo Sensory-Tumor Research Center\u2014ORL (EYE-ENT), \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cosmin","family":"Rosca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7755-4608","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolae-Constantin","family":"Balica","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT Department, \u201cVictor Babes\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 300041 Timisoara, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2595-6319","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Horia T.","family":"Stanca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ophthalmology Department, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 050474 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"437","DOI":"10.1038\/eye.2016.241","article-title":"Agreement and Clinical Comparison between a New Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography-Based Optical Biometer and an Optical Low-Coherence Reflectometry Biometer","volume":"31","year":"2017","journal-title":"Eye"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Gao, R., Chen, H., Savini, G., Miao, Y., Wang, X., Yang, J., Zhao, W., Wang, Q., and Huang, J.
