Materials and Methods: The biometry of 105 eyes of 105 patients before cataracts were analyzed in this study. Parameters such as axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and lens thickness (LT) were compared from both devices. According to the axial length measurements, patients were divided into three groups, as follows: group 1\u2014short eyes (AL &lt; 22.5 mm), group 2\u2014average eyes (22.5 \u2264 AL \u2264 26.0 mm), and group 3\u2014long eyes (AL &gt; 26.0 mm). Results: The correlation coefficiency among all compared parameters varies from R = 0.92 to R = 1.00, indicating excellent reliability of IM and A. A statistical significance in axial length was indicated in the group of short eyes (n = 26)\u2014mean AL (A) 21.90 mm (\u00b10.59 mm) vs. AL (IM) 21.8 mm \u00b1 (0.61 mm) (p &lt; 0.001)\u2014and in the group of long eyes (n = 5)\u2014mean AL (A) 27.95 mm (\u00b12.62 mm) vs. mean AL (IM) 28.10 mm (\u00b12.64) (p &lt; 0.05). In the group of average eyes (n = 74), outcomes were similar\u2014mean AL (A) 23.56 mm (\u00b10.70 mm) vs. mean AL (IM) 23,56 mm (\u00b10.71 mm) (p &gt; 0.05). The anterior chamber depth measurements were higher when obtained with Argos than with IOLMaster 700\u2014mean ACD (A) 3.06 mm (\u00b10.48 mm) vs. mean ACD (IM) 2.92 mm (\u00b10.46) p &lt; 0.001. There was no statistical significance in mean LT\u2014mean LT (A) 4.75 mm (\u00b10.46 mm) vs. mean LT (IM) 4.72 mm (\u00b10.44 mm) (p = 0.054). The biometry of one eye with dense cataracts could be measured only with Argos, using the Enhanced Retinal Visualization mode. Conclusions: Axial length measurements from both devices were different in the groups of short and long eyes, but were comparable in the group of average eyes. The anterior chamber depth values obtained with Argos were higher than the measurements acquired with IOLMaster 700. These differences may be particularly important when selecting IOLs for patients with extreme AL values.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60071057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]],"date-time":"2024-06-27T04:19:26Z","timestamp":1719461966000},"page":"1057","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Evaluation of Selected Biometric Parameters in Cataract Patients\u2014A Comparison between Argos\u00ae and IOLMaster 700\u00ae: Two Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography-Based Biometers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9126-126X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Porwolik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kornel Gibi\u0144ski University Clinical Center, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-9667-5676","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Porwolik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Silesia Orthodontics, Juliusza S\u0142owackiego 13, 40-094 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1541-4666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ewa","family":"Mrukwa-Kominek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medical Sciences in Katowice, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Kornel Gibi\u0144ski University Clinical Center, Medical University of Silesia, 40-055 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"765","DOI":"10.1007\/s004170000188","article-title":"Comparison of immersion ultrasound biometry and partial coherence interferometry for intraocular lens calculation according to Haigis","volume":"238","author":"Haigis","year":"2000","journal-title":"Graefe\u2019s Arch.
