Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of cataract progression using the Haigis formula-calculated intraocular lens (IOL) power and investigate the accuracy of IOL power measured at different time points. Methods: This prospective study was performed on 75 eyes of 75 patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery. Preoperative ocular parameters including axial length (AL), keratometry (K), anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal astigmatism, corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) examined at the two time points, more than 3 months preoperatively and preoperative 1 day were compared. The ocular parameters measured in the two time points were used to calculate the predicted implanted IOL power and the actual IOL power was chosen on the basis of parameters measured earlier before surgery using the Haigis formula. The mean numerical error (MNE) and mean absolute error (MAE) predicted by the two time points were also compared. Results: There were significant differences in the ACD, IOL power, UDVA and CDVA (P 0.05) during the average of 5.6 months before surgery. No statistically significant difference was detected in MNE (P>0.05), while the MAE had a significant difference in the two time points (P
