A Study of Artificial Intelligence Assisted Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) for Surgical Design and Influencing Factors

January 19, 2024 updated by: Tianjin Eye Hospital

Artificial Intelligence Assisted Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) for Surgical Design and Nomogram Predicting and Related Influencing Factors to Surgical Outcomes

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the difference of refractive outcomes between Artificial Intelligence and experienced surgeon predicting Nomogram assist SMILE surgical design and the influenced factors of refractive outcomes in patients who underwent Small Incision Lenticule Extraction(SMILE) at the Refractive Surgery Center of Tianjin Eye Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Compare the difference of refractive outcomes between Artificial Intelligence and experienced surgeon predicting Nomogram assist SMILE surgical design
  • Analysis the influenced factors of refractive outcomes

Study Population

This ambispective study included 3246 eyes of 1643 patients with myopia or myopic astigmatism until September 2023. All of patients were accepted the SMILE surgery from May 2014 to June 2023 in Tianjin Eye Hospital. Additional participants will be recruited until September 30, 2024.

Baseline and postoperative measurements included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), CDVA, cycloplegic and manifest refraction, slit-lamp and fundus examination, corneal topography and intraocular pressure. Postoperative examinations were scheduled at 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. Before surgery, all patients had received 0.5% levofloxacin eyedrops 4 times daily for 3 days.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age of 18 years and older
  • Stable refraction over the past 2 years
  • Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 20/25 or better
  • Soft contact lens discontinued 2 weeks or longer
  • Rigid contact lens discontinued 4 weeks or longer

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Abnormal corneal topographic features
  • Severe dry eye
  • Active keratitis
  • Corneal scars
  • Keratoconus or suspected keratoconus,
  • Glaucoma
  • Retina diseases
  • History of intraocular or corneal surgery
  • Pregnant or lactating women, required chronic systemic corticosteroids or immunocompromised subjects were also excluded from this study

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Experienced-nomogram Group
Patients who underwent Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) from March 2014 to October 2018 in Refractive Surgery Center of Tianjin Eye Hospital and had at least three months of postoperative follow-up were included in this group. The Nomogram were based on experience of the surgeon.
AI-nomogram Group 1
Patients who underwent Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) from November 2018 to May 2021 in Refractive Surgery Center of Tianjin Eye Hospital and had at least three months of postoperative follow-up were included in this group. AI-predicted nomogram was obtained and used on patients who underwent surgery.
AI-nomogram Group 2
Patients who underwent Small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) from January 2023 in Refractive Surgery Center of Tianjin Eye Hospital and had at least three months of postoperative follow-up were included in this group. The datasets used to train AI(Artificial Intelligence) models have been continuously updated for better accuracy since 2018, the newest AI-predicted nomogram was obtained and used on patients who underwent surgery.
Good Surgical Effect and Changes of Biological Parameters
-0.50D < spherical equivalent (SE) < 0.50D
Poor Surgical Effect and Changes of Biological Parameters
spherical equivalent (SE) <-0.50D or >0.50D
