While the potential is enormous, there are challenges:
- Data diversity: AI must be trained on scans from varied populations to avoid bias.
- Clinical adoption: Doctors must remain confident that AI supports rather than replaces judgement.
- Privacy: Patient data security remains a top priority.

Associate Professor Skalicky is actively involved in ensuring these innovations are implemented responsibly, combining compassionate patient care with cutting-edge technology.

For patients, the advantages of multimodal AI are clear:
- Earlier detection: Catching eye disease before irreversible damage occurs.
- Personalised care: Treatment tailored to your risk profile and progression.
- Reduced unnecessary tests: More accurate predictions mean fewer repeat visits.
- Accessibility: AI-supported tools like Eyeonic (co-developed by Dr Skalicky) bring screening to communities that lack traditional eye care facilities.

By integrating angiography and OCT imaging, AI can detect early leakage or changes in the macula, guiding treatment with injections before vision loss occurs.

20/04/2026

Combining retinal scans with systemic health data helps flag diabetic retinopathy before patients notice symptoms.
AI tools are particularly valuable in rural and remote Australian communities, where access to ophthalmologists is limited.

Automated image analysis can determine cataract density and predict when cataract surgery will likely be required.
AI can also suggest surgical planning strategies tailored to each patient’s anatomy.

12/04/2026

AI can analyse optic nerve changes across OCT scans, fundus photos, and visual field data simultaneously.

This improves detection of glaucoma at earlier stages, when interventions such as Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) or Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) may be most effective.

Multimodal AI systems analyse data from multiple diagnostic tools simultaneously. Instead of just looking at one image or one test result, the system integrates:

- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Detailed cross-sectional scans of the retina.

- Fundus photography: Wide-angle images of the back of the eye.

- Angiography: Imaging of blood flow in the retina.

- Visual field testing: Functional assessment of peripheral and central vision.

- Patient history: Including age, family history, diabetes, or systemic health.

By combining these, AI algorithms can detect subtle patterns that human clinicians may miss, identifying disease earlier and predicting which patients are most at risk of progression.

Eye conditions such as glaucoma are often called “silent” diseases because they cause little or no symptoms in their early stages. Traditional tests, such as intraocular pressure measurement and visual field testing, are useful but sometimes detect disease only once significant damage has already occurred. Similarly, cataracts and retinal conditions may progress unnoticed until daily life is affected. Relying on a single test or measurement can therefore limit the ability to catch problems early.

This is where multimodal AI comes in and offers a layered approach that combines different sources of information for a more complete picture of eye health.

01/04/2026

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping nearly every aspect of modern healthcare, and ophthalmology is no exception. For decades, diagnosis of eye conditions has relied on a combination of imaging tests, clinical examination and patient-reported symptoms. Now a new approach known as multimodal diagnostics powered by AI is changing the way we detect, track and treat eye diseases. By integrating different streams of data, from retinal imaging to patient medical history, AI-driven systems are helping ophthalmologists like Associate Professor Simon Skalicky deliver earlier, more precise, and more personalised care. Skalicky's latest blog explores what multimodal AI means for patients, how it is being applied to conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic eye disease, and why Melbourne is well-placed to lead in this exciting future of eye care.

Early detection of conditions such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy through retinal imaging significantly reduces the risk of permanent vision loss.

25/03/2026

Yes. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Fundus Photography are non-invasive, painless, and do not expose you to radiation.

23/03/2026

Most adults should undergo comprehensive eye exams every 1–2 years, or more frequently if they have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease.
