Abstract

Refraction testing is essential in ophthalmology clinics and typically involves using a refractor or retinoscopy while under cycloplegia. Retinal Fundus Photos (RFPs) offer a plethora of knowledge about the human eye and may offer a new, more practical and objective method. Here, our goal was to create and test a Fusion Model-Based Intelligent Retinoscopy System (FMIRS) that would allow us to compare the cycloplegic refraction to ocular refraction using RFPs. The FMIRS was built, and the effectiveness of the sphere and cylinder regression models was assessed. The classification model of the cylinder axis was assessed using the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and F1-score metrics. The ocular refraction was successfully and precisely identified by the FMIRS in the sphere, cylinder, and axis, and it demonstrated good agreement with the cycloplegic refraction. The RFPs can offer detailed fundus information as well as information on the eye's refraction state, underscoring their potential clinical value.

Introduction

The most frequent eye problems and the second-leading cause of T blindness are refractive errors. Recently, myopia, or nearsightedness, has become more prevalent throughout the world as a result of refractive defects. Due to its rising incidence, prevalence, and potential long-term links to sight-threatening ocular problems, myopia has taken on the characteristics of an epidemic in terms of public health. As a result, accurate refraction measurement and assessment are crucial for determining the degree of ametropic and delivering effective eye treatment. A common method for identifying refractive errors is clinical subjective refraction when paralyzed. However, due to pupil dilatation, this treatment is strenuous, takes a lot of time, and occasionally causes hazy vision, photophobia, and the sense of glare. Additionally, it is uncomfortable and difficult for pediatric or impaired patients, particularly in settings with minimal resources. The accommodation causes the refraction measurement findings to remain inadequate even with the development of auto refractors. These systems can affect myopia prevention and correction methods in addition to overestimating the prevalence and severity of myopia. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information on refraction and its relationship to Retinal Fundus Photographs (RFPs). Therefore, a better technique should be created to enhance refraction detection, documentation, and prediction. Fundus photography, which is frequently employed in clinical practise, can objectively represent retinal morphology. The retinal image is distorted and the quality of vision is reduced as myopia changes. Tessellation, changes in the parapapillary or macular region, and alterations in the artery's trajectory are the typical features of retinal morphology in myopia. Patients who have high-order and pathological myopia will notice these alterations more noticeably. Fundus image intensities, which depict the amount of light reflected in addition to these visible structures, offer details on the overall health of the eye. It is unclear whether this knowledge sheds light on ocular refraction and explains how astigmatism can lead to image distortions. Medical data classification and prediction have seen considerable use of artificial intelligence (AI). In assisting clinical decision-making, this technology has also demonstrated performance that is almost expert-level. Greater clinical insights and conclusions are provided by applying the broadened AI capability to extract regions of interest (ROI) that clinicians generally cannot recognize from images alone. A few studies have shown that deep learning systems can predict spherical equivalents using fundus photographs, and many studies have highlighted the value of RFPs using AI, such as in screening for diabetic retinopathy and detecting cardiovascular disease. However, the outcomes of these systems do not accurately reflect the ocular refraction due to population and algorithmic influences. More importantly, the cylinder axis was not identified by these studies.

Conclusion

For identifying ocular refraction, wagreement. This study showed that the FMIRS could accurately and directly measure ocular refraction without the need for a timeconsuming cycloplegic procedure. Importantly, the attention maps produced by this system may offer fresh insights into how myopic astigmatism causes image distortion and assist in identifying imaging biomarkers for refractive error diagnosis. These results also demonstrate the potential benefits of AI-based intelligent retinoscopy, which can simultaneously provide detailed information on retinal changes and refraction states. Future FMIRS-smartphone integration could improve patients' ability to track their own refraction changes and could have a big impact on eye care globally, especially in places with scarce healthcare resources.
