Purpose:
To test a prediction algorithm for deflection of the optical part of IOL after uncomplicated phacoemulsification.
Material And Methods:
The study included 226 patients (287 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of intracapsular AcrySof IOL. Preoperative examination included IOLMaster, Lenstar LS 900 biometry and Pentacam HR keratotopography. All measurement were repeated one month postoperatively. To determine the tilt and deflection of the IOL's optical part, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed on Topcon 3DOCT-2000.
Results:
OCT data analysis helps identify the slope and deflection of the IOL's optical part relative to the pupil plane. In the previous study we built logistic regression models for predicting the deflection of the IOL's optical part with high predictive quality based on the calculated IOL power and preoperative biometry measurements. When checked with new patient data, the areas under the ROC curves have changed slightly. Large area under the ROC curves with small deviation rates, as well as retention of the level of true positive responses with little increase in false negative responses verify the high quality of the models.
Conclusion:
Logistic regression models based on the optical power of the implanted IOL, as well as on a combination of preoperative biometry data from IOLMaster and Lenstar LS 900, make it possible to predict the probability of deflection of the optical part of IOL with high reliability and promptly correct the IOL power.
