Prospects of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology

With the development of deep learning and other related technologies, artificial intelligence has been widely used in all aspects of medicine, and the era of intelligent medicine has come. In the field of ophthalmology, artificial intelligence can be used for screening, diagnosis, progress prediction and personalizing treatment strategies of various ophthalmic diseases, such as fundus diseases, glaucoma, cataract, myopia, corneal diseases and orbital diseases. Notably, artificial intelligence has translated basic research to clinical application. Although there are still some problems in artificial intelligence, its development trend is irresistible. We should broadly embrace the new wave of of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, face the challenges, seize the opportunities, and realize the new revolution of ophthalmic technology.
