NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The use of AI in optometry is poised to create new opportunities for eye care providers, according to keynote speaker and leading AI transformation advisor Tom Lawry at Optometry’s Meeting.
“I talked about some great work being done out of Harvard, where retinal images could not only help us predict things like eye problems, but we’re at a point of looking at patterns in the retinal layers to actually predict things like cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric conditions from retinal images,” Lawry, a former Microsoft executive and managing director of Second Century Tech, said in this Healio video.
As AI becomes more mainstream, Lawry noted, “I think there’s lots of opportunity for creative, innovative optometrists and others to look at AI, what it can do today and how to bring it in behind their practice to make them better at the things they care about.”
