Artificial Intelligence in Cornea and Refractive Surgery: Are YOU ready?
By Miss Radhika Rampat
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is NOW…
It can be seen in the multitude of industries that have already been transformed by it. Whether you shout out ‘Alexa’ ,
‘Siri’ or whether you drive in your Tesla – it is all around us. Advances in Imaging techniques combined with an acceleration during the pandemic has seen a recent boomin interest in Anterior segment disease specifically.
I don’t believe AI will replace us…
But it will become part of the tools we use to diagnose and manage our patients and more. For example, based on imaging alone the MS39 Anterior Segment OCT scan (CSO, Italy) can already tell us who has keratoconus (KC) based on an AI algorithm, but soon it could tell us who will go on to need crosslinking (CXL), or who may need re-bubbling after endothelial keratoplasty surgery.
