The general public should use caution when reading AI-generated medical information as it may be inaccurate, misleading, or biased.

The latest innovations are in focus at the 127th annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The collaboration, fueled by a $5 million donation from Knights Templar Eye Foundation (KTEF), will introduce a free and open VR simulation program for ophthalmologists and trainees worldwide.

The company’s AI CLAIR technology platform has received FDA breakthrough device status, and if cleared by the FDA will deliver real-time cardiovascular disease risk assessments through routine eye exams.

Developing technology may offer marked improvements in surgical precision

Physicians explore how other specialties adopted and integrated remote monitoring into plans.

The collaboration will drive an effort to develop predictive analytics to enable early detection of eye diseases and more personalized treatments to prevent vision loss for people with serious eye diseases.

The MyopiaX-1 trial studies MyopiaX, a smartphone application that aims to slow the progression of myopia, or nearsightedness, in children and adolescents.

The Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award, dubbed ‘America’s Nobel,’ recognizes the wide use of optical coherence tomography to manage eye disease, prevent blindness.

According to the companies, the partnership will roll out a proprietary system that has earned FDA breakthrough designation, one of the few ophthalmic devices to achieve this status in almost a decade.

Earlier this year, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an advisory, sounding the alarm for an outbreak of a drug resistant strain of the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa that was connected to the use of artificial tears.

The company has released a video presentation that highlights combining genetic markers with high-resolution retinal imaging to assist in the detection and treatment of blindness and multiple systemic diseases.

Noncontact esthesiometry screens for all levels of neurotrophic keratitis.

According to the company, the tool provides free access to training and mentors for eye care professionals in areas with the greatest need, and the new Cybersight mobile app expands access for eye care professionals through offline functionality.
