AI models can diagnose infectious keratitis with accuracy comparable to ophthalmologists, achieving 89.2% sensitivity and 93.2% specificity.

A University of Birmingham study published in eClinicalMedicine found that AI models can diagnose infectious keratitis (IK) with accuracy comparable to ophthalmologists, achieving 89.2% sensitivity and 93.2% specificity. This technology could be particularly beneficial in areas lacking eye care specialists, potentially reducing preventable blindness. However, researchers stress the need for diverse data and further validation to enhance clinical reliability.
