Swept-source OCT reduces the risk of axial length measurement errors in eyes with cataract and epiretinal membranes.

<h4>Aims</h4>To compare the biometric data from partial coherence interferometry (PCI) and swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) in patients with age-related cataract and epiretinal membrane (ERM): ERM, ERM with foveoschisis and macular pseudohole.<h4>Methods</h4>49 eyes of 49 subjects i...
