    Myopia prevalence is expected to rise from 22.9% in 2000 to 49.8% by 2050, posing significant public health challenges.

  • 2

    High myopia increases the risk of cataracts, necessitating precise intraocular lens (IOL) power calculations during cataract surgery.

  • 3

    Traditional IOL formulas are less accurate for highly myopic eyes, prompting the development of modern formulas incorporating advanced principles.

  • 4

    This study compared six modern IOL formulas against four traditional ones to assess their predictive accuracy in highly myopic cataract patients.

  • 5

    Keratometry significantly influences the predictive accuracy of IOL formulas, highlighting the need for tailored approaches in high myopia cases.
