AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to explore the relationship between effective lens position (ELP) and patient factors in cataract patients, especially those with a history of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), and to create a new formula for IOL calculation.
  • It included a comparison of ELP between two groups: 2793 age-related cataract patients and 915 post-PPV patients, evaluating how various patient characteristics impacted ELP using regression analysis.
  • The newly developed LISA-PPV formula was found to have the lowest prediction error compared to existing formulas, demonstrating its effectiveness for calculating IOL power in patients who have undergone PPV.

Article Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between effective lens position (ELP) and patient characteristics, and to further develop a new intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formula for cataract patients with previous pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 2793 age-related cataract patients (group 1) and 915 post-PPV cataract patients (group 2) who underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation were included. The ELP of 2 groups was compared and the association between ELP and patient characteristics was further evaluated using standardized multivariate regression coefficients. An ensemble artificial intelligence-based ELP prediction model was developed using a training set of 810 vitrectomized eyes, and a thick-lens IOL formula (LISA-PPV) was constructed and compared with 7 existing formulas on an external multi-center testing set of 105 eyes.

Results: Compared to eyes with age-related cataract, vitrectomized eyes showed a similar ELP distribution (P = .19), but different standardized coefficients of preoperative biometry for ELP. The standardized coefficients also varied with the type of vitreous tamponade, history of scleral buckling, and ciliary sulcus IOL implantation. The LISA-PPV formula showed the lowest mean and median absolute prediction error (MAE: 0.63 D; MedAE: 0.44 D), and the highest percentages of eyes within ±0.5 D of prediction error (57.14%) in the testing dataset.

Conclusions: The ELP prediction required optimization specifically for vitrectomized eyes based on their biometric and surgical characteristics. The LISA-PPV formula is a useful and accurate tool for determining IOL power in cataract patients with previous PPV (available at http://ppv-iolcalculator.com/).
