As our world becomes increasingly digital, the field of ophthalmology is witnessing a transformational shift. The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has entered this field, delivering innovative solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of various eye conditions. These advancements are not merely an improvement but a revolution in eye care.

AI, a collection of technologies that emulate human intelligence, has proven its worth in numerous industries. It has been a game-changer in healthcare, particularly in eye care. The use of AI has allowed ophthalmologists to detect eye diseases such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy earlier and more accurately than ever before.

Retinal imaging, a crucial ophthalmology diagnostic tool, has benefited considerably from AI. These photos can be examined by sophisticated AI systems to find subtle alterations that might point to the beginning of a disease. According to research, AI can sometimes even outperform skilled therapists in terms of accuracy. Additionally, because AI processes information quickly, diagnosing patients takes less time overall.
