Published: April 1, 2023

Myopia as an uncorrected visual impairment is recognized a global public health issue with increasing burden on health-care systems. Moreover, high myopia increases one's risk of developing pathologic myopia, which can lead to irreversible impairment. Thus, increased resources are needed for the early identification complications, timely intervention prevent progression, and treatment complications. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) digital technologies may have potential tackle these unmet needs through automated detection screening stratification, individualized prediction, prognostication progression. AI applications in children adults been developed detection, diagnosis, prediction Novel technologies, including multimodal AI, explainable federated learning, machine blockchain, further improve performance, safety, accessibility, also circumvent concerns explainability. Digital technology advancements include therapeutics, self-monitoring devices, virtual reality or augmented technology, wearable devices - provide possible avenues monitoring progression control. However, there challenges implementation requirements specific infrastructure resources, demonstrating clinically acceptable performance safety data management.

Abstract: With the global shortage of eye care professionals and increasing burden vision impairment, particularly in low- middle-income countries, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions to bridge gaps services. Advances artificial intelligence (AI) over recent decades have significantly impacted healthcare, including field optometry. When integrated into optometric workflows, AI has potential streamline decision-making processes enhance system efficiency. To realize this potential, it essential develop models that can improve each stage patient workflow, screening, detection, diagnosis, management. This review explores application optometry, focusing on its optimize various aspects care. We examined across key areas Our analysis considered crucial parameters, model selection, sample sizes training validation, evaluation metrics, explainability models. comprehensive identified both strengths weaknesses existing The majority image-based studies utilized CNN or transfer learning models, while clinical data-based primarily employed RF, SVM, XGBoost. In general, trained large datasets achieved higher accuracy. However, many optometry-focused faced limitations due insufficient sizes— 28% were fewer than 500 samples, 18% used 200 half validated their with 38% validating 200. Additionally, some same data validation experienced overfitting, leading reduced Notably, 20% included reported accuracy below 80%, limiting practical applicability settings. provides optometrists valuable insights field, aiding informed implementation Keywords: intelligence,
