Hi Nikolz, I am not a great expert in biometry for post RK cases, as I said in the commentary - I have only done a few post RK cases. For Biometry I follow Warren Hill's advise which is on - http://www.doctor-hill.com/iol-main/postRK.htm Warren knows more about biometry than I can ever hope to! Best Wishes
