A Retrospective Study of Visual Outcomes When Using a Cloud-Based Surgical Planning Platform and the Barrett
1Woolfson Eye Institute, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Purpose:
To evaluate the efficacy of a cloud-based surgical planning platform with regards to refractive target accuracy.
Methods:
This was a retrospective chart review of consecutive cases from January 2022 through December 2023. Surgical planning was performed using the SMARTCataract platform, eyes were implanted with Clareon monofocal IOLs, and power calculations were done using the Barrett Universal II formula. Data were collected for the percentage of eyes within ±0.5 D of target refraction, mean absolute error (MAE), and postoperative visual acuity.
Results:
A total of 148 eyes were identified that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The percentage of eyes within ±0.5 D of the planned target was 94%. The MAE was 0.25 ± 0.17 D. In addition, 57%, 93%, 98%, and 100% of eyes had MAE ≤ 0.25 D, ≤ 0.5 D, ≤ 0.75 D, and ≤ 1.0 D, respectively.
Conclusion:
The results of this study suggest high refractive accuracy when using the SMARTCataract planning platform with the Barrett Universal II formula and excellent distance visual acuity.
