Ophthalmology and Vision Science

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technology in Ophthalmology

Artificial intelligence and digital technologies are creating new opportunities for screening, diagnosis, clinical decision support, and long-term monitoring in ophthalmology. This session will explore applications of machine learning, computer vision, automated image analysis, predictive modelling, and digital health platforms in eye care. Discussions will include AI-assisted retinal image assessment, diabetic retinopathy screening, glaucoma monitoring, disease-risk prediction, teleophthalmology, and remote consultations. The session will also address important considerations such as data quality, algorithmic bias, privacy, cyber security, transparency, and clinical validation. Experts will discuss how digital tools may support healthcare professionals, expand access to eye care, and improve the efficiency and consistency of ophthalmic services.
