Accuracy of artificial intelligence formulas and axial length adjustments for highly myopic eyes

Myopia has been on steep rise over the past 50 years, especially in Asia, with around 80-90% of young adults affected by myopia and an accompanying high prevalence of high myopia (10-20%).1 High myopia, commonly defined as axial length (AL) ≥26.0mm, is associated with the early onset of cataract2 and myopic eyes are more likely to have nuclear cataract and posterior subcapsular cataract3. However, intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation remains challenging for highly myopic eyes4 and various existing formulas have been shown to be d eficient for highly myopic eyes due to the complex condition of the fundus.
