Capturing the silent thief of sight: An artificial intelligence screening system for glaucoma

Glaucoma is the global leading cause of irreversible blindness and the second cause of blindness after cataracts.¹ The current estimated global prevalence of glaucoma for the population aged 40-80 years is 3.54% (95% CI: 2.09-5.82) and is projected to increase in the aging

The increasing incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is coincendently associated with myopia prevalence in The Netherlands

Over the past decade, the global incidence of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) has increased and may be associated with a coincidental increase in the risk factors of RRD.1 To confirm the key RRD risk factors affecting the Dutch population, researchers from the Dutch Rhegmatogenous Retinal De

New artificial intelligence system to predict conversion to wet age-related macular degeneration

Exudative ‘wet’ age-related macular degeneration (exAMD) is a chronic eye disorder that causes visual deterioration in the central vision area. Patients with exAMD in one eye often develop exAMD in the fellow eye. Symptoms of exAMD usually appear suddenly and worsen rapidly, making the time
