Abstract

Purpose: The accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) calculations is one of the key indicators for determining the success of cataract surgery. However, in highly myopic patients, the calculation errors are relatively larger than those in general patients. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, there has also been a constant emergence of AI-related calculation formulas. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the accuracy of AI calculation formulas in calculating the power of IOL for highly myopic patients.

Methods: We searched the relevant literature through August 2023 using three databases: PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Six IOL calculation formulas were compared: Kane, Hill-RBF, EVO, Barrett II, Haigis, and SRK/T. The included metrics were the mean absolute error (MAE) and percentage of errors within ± 0.25 D, ± 0.50 D, and ± 1.00 D.

Results: The results showed that the MAE of Kane was significantly lower than that of Barrett II (mean difference = - 0.03 D, P = 0.02), SRK/T (MD = - 0.08 D, P = 0.02), and Haigis (MD = - 0.12 D, P < 0.00001). The percentage refractive prediction errors for Kane at ± 0.25 D, ± 0.50 D, and ± 1.00 D were significantly greater than those for SRK/T (P = 0.007, 0.003, and 0.01, respectively) and Haigis (P = 0.009, 0.0001, and 0.001, respectively). No statistically significant differences were noted between Hill-RBF and Barret, but Hill-RBF was significantly better than SRK/T and Haigis.

Conclusion: The AI calculation formulas showed more accurate results compared with traditional formulas. Among them, Kane has the best performance in calculating IOL degrees for highly myopic patients.
