ATHENS, Greece — In all fields of medicine, artificial intelligence is greatly transforming the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, leading to improved outcomes. The current applications of artificial intelligence to biometry are explained at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons Winter Meeting by Nino Hirnschall, MD, PhD. Together with intraoperative OCT measurements, new AI-based formulas are increasing the accuracy of prediction of IOL position and IOL power calculation.
IOL power calculation not as straightforward as it seems
Patient expectations after cataract surgery are continually increasing, and unaided postoperative visual acuity is an important correlate of patient satisfaction. Nino Hirnschall, MD, PhD, resident at the Hanusch Hospital, Vienna, and researcher at the Vienna Institute for Research in Ocular Surgery, both directed by Oliver Findl, MD, MBA, gives us an introductory guide to making the best-informed IOL lens power decisions and reminds us that this may not always be straightforward.
