Improved IOL Power Calculation With Femtosecond Laser Enhanced Refractive Outcome Prediction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to introduce and evaluate the femtosecond laser enhanced refractive outcome (FLERO) prediction method, an intraocular lens (IOL) calculator that augments Barrett Universal II (BUII) by integrating novel anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) biometric predictors obtained during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS).

Methods

Two thousand, three hundred sixty-three (2363) eyes of 1720 patients (mean age = 71.33 years, 60.26% women) undergoing FLACS were analyzed. FLERO was developed by selecting the most predictive subset of OCT-derived biometry features using a "genetic algorithm" and combining them with BUII predictions in a linear model. Internal validation was performed through cross-validation, and predictio
