Using artificial intelligence to improve cataract surgery outcomes for patients with high myopia
Artificial Intelligence for Highly Myopic Cataract
Shanghai High Myopia Study Group · NCT06616506
This study is testing a new artificial intelligence tool to see if it can help improve cataract surgery results for patients with severe nearsightedness by providing better lens calculations.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to develop a multi-center artificial intelligence model to enhance the accuracy of intraocular lens calculations for patients suffering from highly myopic cataracts. The research focuses on addressing the limitations of existing lens calculation formulas, which are primarily based on data from European and American populations, by utilizing data from the Asian population where high myopia is prevalent. By improving the predictive accuracy of postoperative diopter outcomes, the study seeks to reduce the risk of blindness associated with high myopia cataracts. The AI model will analyze various biometric indicators to provide more precise calculations tailored to this specific patient group.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients with high myopia (axial length ≥ 26 mm) who also have cataracts and are seeking surgical treatment.
Not a fit: Patients who are unable to undergo the required examinations or cooperate with the study protocols may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve surgical outcomes and reduce the risk of complications for patients with highly myopic cataracts.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of artificial intelligence in medical applications is growing, this specific approach to improving intraocular lens calculations for highly myopic cataracts is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Axial length ≥ 26 mm and patients with high myopia complicated by cataracts who visit our hospital. Preoperative anterior segment photography and cataract severity assessment, along with fundus OCT examination, have been performed. If surgical treatment is conducted, the postoperative follow-up period should be no less than 1 month. There are no missing clinical data before and after the surgery. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who are unable to cooperate with the required examinations for this study.
