Background: Accurate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation is a cornerstone of successful visual rehabilitation in cataract and aphakic patients. Keratometry remains one of the critical parameters influencing refractive outcomes, as corneal curvature directly affects the estimation of effective lens position (ELP). In patients with corneal scarring, however, obtaining reliable corneal measurementsbecomes challenging due to irregularity of the anterior surface and potential alterations in corneal biomechanics. Traditionally, simulatedkeratometry (SimK) has been employed, relying
