Abstract
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have experienced substantial growth across various sectors, with significant strides made particularly in medical AI through advancements such as large models. The application of AI within the field of ophthalmology can enhance the accuracy of eye disease screening and diagnosis. However, the deployment of AI and its large models in ophthalmology still encounters numerous limitations and challenges. This article builds upon the transformative achievements in the medical AI sector and discusses the ongoing challenges faced by AI applications in ophthalmology. It provides forward-looking insights from an ophthalmic perspective regarding the era of large models and anticipates research trends in AI applications in ophthalmology, so as to foster the continuous advancement of AI technologies, thereby significantly promoting eye health.
