A total of 1,002 images obtained using optical biometry and another femtosecond laser platform in patients who underwent cataract surgery in 2021 were used for the test dataset.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>AI modeling was based on an ensemble model of Inception-v4 and ResNet. The BCVA training\/validation dataset was used for model training. The model performance was evaluated using the test dataset. Analysis of absolute error (AE) was performed by comparing the difference between true preoperative BCVA and estimated preoperative BCVA, as \u22650.1 logMAR (AE<jats:sub>\u22650.1<\/jats:sub>) or &amp;lt;0.1 logMAR (AE<jats:sub>&amp;lt;0.1<\/jats:sub>).

The correlation coefficient was 0.969 (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&amp;lt; 0.001). The percentage of cases with AE<jats:sub>\u22650.1<\/jats:sub>was 8.4%. The incidence of postoperative BCVA &amp;gt; 0.1 was 21.4% in the AE<jats:sub>\u22650.1<\/jats:sub>group, of which 88.9% were in the underestimation group. The incidence of vision-impairing disease in the underestimation group was 95.7%.
