| Summary: | Ophthalmology, the medical field dedicated to eye care, is undergoing a transformation due to the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). This review article explores the growing use of AI in ophthalmic practices, focusing on disease diagnosis, screening, and surgical guidance. We examine the potential benefits of AI-powered tools, including their ability to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of eye care. However, we also acknowledge the ethical and practical challenges associated with this technology, such as algorithmic bias, the lack of explainability, and potential job displacement. We envision a future where ophthalmologists and AI collaborate to improve patient care and usher in a new era of ophthalmic practice. |
