The main outcomes included mean prediction error (PE), median absolute error (MedAE), mean absolute error (MAE), and the percentage of eyes with a PE within ± 0.50 and ± 1.0 diopters (D).Results: Sixty-nine eyes of 69 patients were included. Only the Barrett II formula resulted in a systematic myopic error (p=0.014). The PE of SRKT, HofferQ, and Holladay 1 was closer to 0, indicating that the post-operative refractive outcome was nearer to the predicted value than that of Barrett II (p=0.002, p< 0.001, p=0.003, respectively). MedAE and MAE ranged from 0.41 to 0.53 D and 0.6 to 0.67 D, respectively, without significant differences between the formulas. The percentages of eyes with PE within ± 0.50 and ± 1.00 D varied from 47.8 to 56.5% and 79.7 to 87%, respectively, showing no significant differences across the assessed formulas.Conclusion: The SRK/T, Hoffer Q, and Holladay 1 formulas provide favorable refractive outcomes for the SSF of Carlevale IOL. The Barrett II formula is less accurate and is not recommended due to its systematic myopic refractive error.Keywords: Carlevale IOL, sutureless scleral fixation, IOL power formula, refractive results, refractive prediction error
