Potential Risk Factors and Predictive Model Construction of OBL During SMILE

The DL model was used to predict the OBL area during SMILE surgery by identifying the corneal full-view images before laser scanning. The DL model developed may assist surgeons to predict the possible OBL area of patients in advance, so as to adjust some surgical parameters and reduce the formation of OBL, which can avoid negative effects on surgeons' operation and patients' postoperative visual recovery, which has important practical significance.
