Systematic searches were performed based on five databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Medline, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The primary outcome was the mean arithmetic refractive prediction error. Secondary outcomes were mean absolute refractive prediction error and the number of eyes within a certain refractive prediction error range.
