Axial Length Adjustment and AL/R Ratio Optimization of IOL Power Calculation in Extremely Long Eyes.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of modern intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas and axial length (AL) adjustment methods in eyes with AL ≥ 30.0 mm. DESIGN: Retrospective consecutive cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROLS: A total of 308 eyes (308 patients) with AL ≥ 30.00 mm were included. METHODS: Accuracy of modern online formulas, alone or with established AL adjustments methods, was analyzed. Subgroup analyses were performed based on AL, keratometry (K), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and AL-to-corneal radius (AL/R) ratio. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Predictive accuracy was evaluated using the formula performance index (FPI), root mean square absolute prediction error (RMSAE), standard deviation (SD) of prediction error (PE), and percentage of eyes within ±0.25 and ±0.50 diopters (D). RESULTS: Overall, Holladay 1 combined with the nonlinear polynomial Wang-Koch axial length adjustment (H1-PWK) demonstrated the best overall performance, achieving the lowest SD (0.40), RMSAE (0.40), and highest FPI (0.494). A tendency toward hyperopic error was observed in eyes with AL ≥ 32.0 mm, K ≥ 46.0 D. The AL/R ratio showed a significant positive correlation with PE in the Ladas Super formula, Barrett Universal II, EVO, PEARL-DGS, and Hoffer QST formulas. Spline-based regression analysis indicated that the transition point of AL/R from myopic to hyperopic PE varied across different formulas. CONCLUSIONS: H1-PWK provides robust refractive accuracy in extremely long eyes. The AL/R ratio may provide a useful composite biometric stratification parameter compared to AL alone.

Risk Factors and Predictive Model for Postoperative High Myopia in Children Undergoing Congenital Cataract Surgery With Intraocular Lens Implantation.

PURPOSE: To identify risk factors associated with the development of high myopia following congenital cataract surgery and to establish a robust predictive model. DESIGN: Retrospective clinical cohort study. SUBJECTS: This retrospective study included 106 pediatric patients who underwent congenital cataract surgery with primary IOL implantation (mean follow-up 8.19 years). The model was externally validated in an independent cohort of 72 patients with a mean follow-up of 7.83 years. METHODS: Preoperative and postoperative ocular biometric parameters were collected. Risk factors for postoperative high myopia were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression, which served as the basis for model construction. The predictive performance of the model was rigorously evaluated for discrimination and calibration. Discriminative ability was quantified using Harrell's C-index and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Model calibration was assessed via calibration plots by comparing predicted probabilities with actual observed outcomes. Internal validation was performed using a bootstrapping method (500 iterations) to ensure model stability and adjust for potential overfitting. RESULTS: An initial postoperative refraction of <+0.75D, and a higher IOL Power to Axial length Ratio (IOL/AL ratio) were identified as significant risk factors for the development of postoperative high myopia. Shorter preoperative axial length was associated with a greater magnitude of postoperative myopic shift. The predictive model demonstrated robust performance, achieving a C-index of 0.711 (internal validation C-index: 0.713). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values for predicting high myopia at 5 and 10 years were 0.858 and 0.745, respectively. Furthermore, calibration curves demonstrated excellent agreement between the predicted and observed outcomes throughout the follow-up period. In external validation, the model achieved a C-index of 0.825, 5-year AUC of 0.833, and 10-year AUC of 0.713. CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis established that initial postoperative refraction <+0.75D, and an elevated IOL/AL ratio are key determinants of high myopia risk following surgery. Shorter preoperative axial length was associated with a greater magnitude of postoperative myopic shift. This predictive framework provides clinicians with a practical tool to optimize preoperative IOL selection and identify high-risk infants who require vigilant myopia prevention and balanced amblyopia management.
