Artificial Intelligence Goes from the Drawing Board to the Clinic by Matt Herman
After years of speculation and research on its massive potential, artificial intelligence is finally making its way into ophthalmology clinics around the world. Experts at the 24th Congress of the European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA 2024) spoke about the developments making an instant impact on retinal clinical practices.
A
rtificial intelligence’s moment has officially arrived in ophthalmology, and a panel of world-renowned experts at a EURETINA 2024 Day 4 session shared how retinal specialists can—and should—get on board. In a symposium chaired by EURETINA Board Member Prof. Martin Zinkernagel (Switzerland) and artificial intelligence luminary Prof. Pearse Keane (UK), some of ophthalmology’s leading minds in the subject talked about how AI is ready for the everyday clinic—and why the time is now.

AI’s ophthalmic roots are in retinal image analysis—and so it is only fitting that this is
now one of the most accessible entryways to integrating the technology into your clinic. Data scientist Dr. Mathias Gallardo (France) surveyed the current opportunities for integrating AI image analysis into your clinic—but also took stock of the many pitfalls that come without thoughtful adoption. “The science of AI is an opportunity for ophthalmology and retinal imaging,” said Dr. Gallardo. “AI models are fast, can perform both simple and complex tasks, handle huge amounts of data, and be tailored at any time,” he said. The impacts that this could have are profound. Dr. Gallardo listed enhanced diagnostic accuracy, accessibility to care for
