About
AI is moving fast. Eye care is changing with it. Clinicians who understand what's coming will be the ones who thrive. This blog exists to make sure you're one of them.
Each post explores the weird, the fascinating and the surprising world of AI. Along the way we cover the concepts and ideas behind it, building your understanding as we go. Never losing sight of eye care.
Why this blog exists
Like most clinicians, a lot of my day is spent clicking. Navigating records, hunting through scattered information. Doing tasks that pull me away from the person sitting in front of me. We entered eye care to look after patients, and yet so much of the job happens on a screen.
AI has the potential to change that. To pull information together, to handle the routine, to give clinicians more time to actually be clinicians.
But what really excites me goes further than efficiency. AI is opening up possibilities that simply didn't exist before. Earlier and more accurate diagnosis. Oculomics, an emerging field that uses the eye as a window into systemic disease, might be the most exciting of all.
AI is everywhere now, not just in eye care. Reading this blog won't just keep you across what's happening in the profession. It will also build your understanding of AI itself. What it is, how it works, and why it matters. Consider it a bonus.
Who it's for
Eye care professionals who are curious about AI but haven't gone deep on it yet. You don't need a technical background. You just need to be curious about where the profession is heading.
Where I stand
I'm positive about AI in eye care. I believe it will augment what we do rather than replace us, and open doors that simply weren't there before. Eye care professionals who embrace it will be better clinicians for it.
AI is powerful, and even as an optimist, that demands caution. We should approach it through a critical lens. This blog will cover the potential harms as much as the possibilities.
New posts at least monthly.
