Artificial intelligence could revolutionise the detection of glaucoma, a common eye condition, while significantly reducing the number of unnecessary specialist referrals, a new study suggests.
Published in the Lancet Primary Care, the research from Portugal involved an AI tool analysing eye images from 671 individuals aged between 55 and 65. The technology demonstrated superior accuracy, correctly identifying 78 per cent of people with glaucoma, compared to 75 per cent detected by human doctors.
