Artificial intelligence applications facilitate decision-making in cataract surgery for highly myopic patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical decision-making for highly myopic cataracts requires a high level of expertise. We, therefore, aimed to develop a preliminary artificial intelligence (AI) model for surgical decision-making in highly myopic cataracts, based on previous deep learning models.

Materials and methods

We first established a highly myopic cataract decision-making AI model by integrating cataract grading and postoperative visual acuity prediction models of highly myopic eyes, which we had developed previously, with surgical decision logic. The outcomes of surgical decision-making were classified into four categories: surgery not advised, cataract surgery recommended, retinal surgery recommended, and combined cataract-retinal surgery recommended. The gold standard for surgical dec
