Open discussion! 🔍

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer science fiction—it’s transforming the way doctors diagnose and treat patients. In the field of ophthalmology, AI tools are already being developed to:

👁 Detect early signs of diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegeneration through retinal scans
🖼️ Convert standard 2D eye photos into 3D models to predict and manage myopia progression
⚡ Speed up diagnostics and reduce burdens on physicians, allowing more time for patient care

While these tools hold tremendous promise, they also raise important questions:
- How do we balance innovation with patient privacy?
- What role should AI play alongside human physicians?
- Can AI truly improve access to care worldwide?

💬 What do you think? Would you feel comfortable if AI was used to help diagnose or monitor your eye health?
