All participants had with ACD measurement measured with Lenstar (LS 900) and anterior segment photographs acquired from a smartphone (iPhone Xs), which was mounted on slit lamp and under diffuses lighting. The anterior segment photographs were randomly selected by person into training (80%, no. of eyes = 3,326) and testing (20%, no. of eyes = 831) dataset. We excluded participants with intraocular surgery history or pronounced corneal haze. A convolutional neural network was developed to predict ACD based on these anterior segment photographs. To determine the accuracy of our algorithm, we measured the mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>) were evaluated. Bland Altman plot was used to illustrate the agreement between DL-predicted and measured ACD values.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the test set of 831 eyes, the mean measured ACD was 3.06 \u00b1 0.25 mm, and the mean DL-predicted ACD was 3.10 \u00b1 0.20 mm. The MAE was 0.16 \u00b1 0.13 mm, and<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>was 0.40 between the predicted and measured ACD. The overall mean difference was \u22120.04 \u00b1 0.20 mm, with 95% limits of agreement ranging between \u22120.43 and 0.34 mm. The generated saliency maps showed that the algorithm mainly utilized central corneal region (i.e., the site where ACD is clinically measured typically) in making its prediction, providing further plausibility to the algorithm's prediction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We developed a DL algorithm to estimate ACD based on smartphone-acquired anterior segment photographs. Upon further validation, our algorithm may be further refined for use as a ACD screening tool in rural localities where means of assessing ocular biometry is not readily available. This is particularly important in China where the risk of primary angle closure disease is high and often undetected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2022.912214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]],"date-time":"2022-06-23T05:51:42Z","timestamp":1655963502000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Smartphone-Acquired
