Application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis and treatment of lacrimal disorders: challenges and opportunities
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2025, Vol 40, Issue 1
Abstract
Lacrimal disorders are common ophthalmic conditions characterized by complex diagnostic and treatment processes, involving intricate therapeutic approaches and diverse clinical and imaging data. Recent studies have indicated that with the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly in machine learning and deep learning, AI demonstrates significant potential in the early screening, accurate diagnosis, and personalized treatment of lacrimal disorders. AI has the ability to provide more precise disease identification and treatment strategies through efficient image analysis, multimodal data fusion, and deep learning algorithms. Additionally, it enables regular monitoring and dynamic adjustment of patients' conditions, improving treatment outcomes. However, several challenges persist, such as the complexity of multimodal data integration, limitations in model generalization capabilities, and the need for real-time prediction and dynamic adjustments, all of which necessitate continuous technological innovations, algorithm optimization, and interdisciplinary collaborations. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current status of AI applications in the diagnosis and treatment of lacrimal disorders, analyzing the advantages and limitations of AI in clinical practice. It especially emphasizes the importance of integrating AI with emerging technologies to optimize clinical decision support systems. By addressing the existing challenges and exploring strategies for technological integration, this paper proposes future directions for the development of AI in lacrimal disorder diagnosis and treatment, aiming to offer innovative perspectives for future researchers and valuable references for clinical practice in the field of ophthalmology, ultimately contributing to the advancement of precision medicine and personalized treatment for lacrimal disorders.
