ABSTRACT
Cataract surgery is one of the most performed surgeries in the world. With the developing intraocular lens (IOL) technology, patient expectations have similarly increased. Although good results can be achieved in normal eyes with the frequently used 3rd and 4th generation formulas, the success rates are lower in abnormal eyes. For this reason, the search for a better IOL calculation formula continues. Artificial intelligence, which has begun to be used in all areas of life, has also been integrated into the IOL power calculation. In this way, it is expected to achieve increasing success rates over the years.
Keywords: Lenses, intraocular; biometry; intraocular lens power calculation; formulas; artificial intelligence
