Pop M, Payette Y, Mansour M. Predicting sulcus size using ocular measurements. J Cataract Refract Surg 2001; 27: eyes of 24 patients (34 ± 6 years) -Spherical equivalent: to –8.75, and to Measurements: white-to-white with surgical calipers; sulcus diameter with composites of UBM photographs (50 MHz) -Traditional estimation of sulcus size through limbal measurement is inadequate: limbus size alone cannot predict sulcus size
