Advances in artificial intelligence for cataract diagnosis
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2024, Vol 39, Issue 3
Abstract
Cataract is a primary cause of blindness globally, particularly accounting for 50% of blindness cases in low- and middle-income countries. As the population ages, it is predicated that cataract blindness cases in China will rise to 20 million by 2050. However, low health expenditures, scarcity of medical equipment and ophthalmologists, and high screening costs continue to hinder mass cataract screening in these countries. Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted cataract diagnosis offers significant advantages, including convenience, cost-effectiveness, and remote accessibility, potentially reducing or even eliminating cataract blindness. This review aims to concisely summarize the research on automatic cataract diagnosis utilizing AI, incorporating slit lamp images of anterior eye segment, fundus photographs, and swept source optical coherence tomography images.
