| Abstract | PURPOSE: To assess the capability of new software to decrease the proportion of eyes that have insufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in optical biometry. SETTING: Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom. DESIGN: Evaluation of diagnostic test or technology. METHODS: In a prospective study, consecutive cataract patients coming for biometry who were unsuccessfully measured with the former software (version 4) of the IOLMaster partial coherence interferometry (PCI) device were reevaluated with the new composite software (version 5). Subsequently, in a retrospective study, consecutive cataract patients were measured with software version 5. For unsuccessful scans, the type and intensity of cataract were assessed at the slitlamp. RESULTS: Altogether, 2713 eyes (1956 patients) were included in the study. The prospective study comprised 458 eyes (244 patients), 10.6% of which could not be measured successfully with software version 4. With the composite software, 30% of cases were measured successfully, with a higher proportion (42%) in the posterior subcapsular cataract subgroup. In the retrospective study, of 2255 eyes (1712 patients), 4.7% were not measured successfully using the new algorithm because of white cataract (70 eyes), posterior subcapsular cataract (14 eyes), or dense nuclear cataract combined with posterior subcapsular cataract (13 eyes) or for other reasons (8 eyes). CONCLUSION: The composite software (version 5) enhanced the SNR, allowing valid measurements in eyes in which optical biometry had previously failed, especially in cases of posterior subcapsular cataract.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
