ZEISS AI IOL Calculator

The new ZEISS AI IOL Calculator is a data-driven IOL power calculation algorithm that uses advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and paraxial ray tracing to provide excellent IOL power calculations.1 It presents an exciting opportunity for ZEISS customers to benefit from AI advancements in the field of cataract surgery.1,2

A new clinical data-driven approach

  • A unique, growing data collection forms the basis for approaching the complexity of the interaction between the human eye and IOL in a new and evolving way.
  • Making A-constants obsolete: ZEISS AI IOL Calculator can utilize more than 16,000 IOL parameters to fine-tune its predictions for each IOL model.
  • Advanced artificial intelligence is used to process the huge amounts of real-world clinical data for IOL power calculation. At the moment, the following IOLs are supported:
    • ZEISS: CT LUCIA® 621P
    • Alcon: AcrySof AU00T0, AcrySof SA60AT3, AcrySof SA60WF, AcrySof SN60AT, AcrySof SN60WF, Clareon CC60WF3, Clareon CCA0T03, Clareon CNA0T0, Clareon SY60WF
    • Bausch & Lomb: Akreos AO3, enVista MX60E, SofPort LI61AO
    • Johnson & Johnson: Sensar AAB003, Tecnis DCB00, Tecnis DIB00, Tecnis PCB00, Tecnis ZCB00
    • Rayner: RayOne Aspheric RAO600C3, RayOne EMV RAO200E3

A unique, growing data collection

The new ZEISS AI IOL Calculator so far uses more than 100,000 real-world clinical data sets. This unique and continuously growing data collection forms the basis for approaching the complexity of the interaction between the human eye and IOL in a new and evolving way.
 

Animation of IOL constants

Making A-constants obsolete

By design, IOL constants are unable to compensate for offsets with higher degrees of freedom, such as different curvatures, thicknesses, and haptic designs, over the different IOLs’ power range. These effects can cause variable postoperative effective lens positions. Therefore, IOL-constants implicitly bear a certain risk of post-op refractive surprises.Contrary to the IOL constant approach ZEISS AI IOL Calculator can utilize more than 16,000 IOL parameters to fine-tune its predictions for each IOL model.2
 

Illustration of Artificial Intelligence

Advanced artificial intelligence

To process the huge amounts of real-world clinical data for IOL power calculation, ZEISS developed a sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI). For each IOL model, it’s trained using a minimum of 1,000 clinical cases while considering more than 16,000 parameters to account for differences in IOL designs. Finally, it also predicts the postoperative physical IOL position.

First clinical data

  • In a peer-reviewed publication for 278 short eyes (AL ≤ 22.0 mm) ZEISS AI IOL Calculator had a significantly smaller MAE than other top performing formulas.1
  • The same study concluded that the ZEISS AI IOL Calculator was the most accurate out of seven other top-performing formulas.1
  • In another study the ZEISS AI IOL Calculator demonstrated an equivalent or lower (p<0.05) standard deviation of prediction error in a data set of 16,000+ eyes for three different IOL models.4
  • In the same study the ZEISS AI IOL Calculator showed an equivalent or lower (p<0.05) mean absolute error of prediction than other top performing formulas in a data set of more than 1,400 short eyes (AL < 22.5 mm) implanted with three different IOL models.4,5

Thorough human experts checks

Before any IOL model can be calculated ZEISS experts individually check the performance of the ZEISS AI IOL Calculator. Only when its performance meets the ZEISS high-quality standards it’s being released and can be calculated.2

Peer perspective video: Introducing the new ZEISS AI IOL Calculator

Douglas D. Koch, MD

Dr. Douglas D. Koch, is one of the first experts to test a new data-driven IOL power calculation algorithm that uses advanced artificial intelligence and paraxial ray tracing: the ZEISS AI IOL Calculator. In this video, he explains why this is a promising new approach and shows first clinical results.
