Machine Learning Models for Predicting Long-Term Visual Acuity in Highly Myopic Eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

High myopia is a global concern due to its escalating prevalence and the potential risk of severe visual impairment caused by pathologic myopia. Using artificial intelligence to estimate future visual acuity (VA) could help clinicians to identify and monitor patients with a high risk of vision reduction in advance.

Objective

To develop machine learning models to predict VA at 3 and 5 years in patients with high myopia.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective, single-center, cohort study was performed on patients whose best-corrected VA (BCVA) at 3 and 5 years was known. The ophthalmic examinations of these patients were performed between October 2011 and May 2021. Thirty-four variables, including general information, basic ophthalmic informatio
