Webinar | 2HRS | 2CPD
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the field of optometry by enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of visual screenings. Traditional methods for detecting ocular pathologies, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy (DR), often depend on manual interpretation, which can be time-consuming and prone to variability. AI-driven tools now offer automated solutions that
analyze visual data with greater precision, enabling earlier detection and intervention. This webinar will explore the latest advancements in AI technologies designed for visual screenings. Participants will learn about practical tools and algorithms that integrate seamlessly into clinical practice, reducing workloads, improving diagnostic accuracy, and supporting better patient outcomes.
Objectives
1. To introduce AI-driven tools and technologies that enhance visual screening processes.
2. To demonstrate how AI algorithms detect early signs of glaucoma, AMD, and diabetic retinopathy with improved speed and accuracy.
3. To provide practical insights into integrating AI screening tools into daily optometric workflows for small and large practices.
4. To highlight the benefits of AI in reducing diagnostic variability, supporting decision-making, and improving patient outcomes.
