Artificial intelligence of ophthalmology ushers in a new stage of the challenging times

As a symbol of the rapid development of science and technology in world nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) technology and its endless applications are profoundly affecting the pattern of human survival and development in all aspects. AI technology is an intelligent tool created by human beings, which has greatly changed people lives and become one of the most active new elements. AI permeates all aspects of human life, including medical science. The application of AI technology in ophthalmology is already on the agenda, and it is making continuous progress in practice and application, making leaps and bounds.
After big data processing, visual function measurement can achieve maximum accuracy and standardization. The whole visual system, from the eyeball to the brain, not only has information about organs and tissues, such as the position, size, shape and rotation of the eyeball, but also has quite prominent histological features, such as iris, fundus blood vessels, etc. With the process of big data, the boundaries between normal and abnormal as well as the pathological or normal boundaries can be normalized and identified respectively.
