Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency of three artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots (ChatGPT-3.5 (OpenAI, San Francisco, California, United States), Bing Copilot (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington, United States), Google Gemini (Google LLC, Mountain View, California, United States)) in assisting the ophthalmologist in the diagnostic approach and management of challenging ophthalmic cases and compare their performance with that of a practicing human ophthalmic specialist. The secondary aim was to assess the short- and medium-term consistency of ChatGPT's responses.

Purpose: To evaluate the inter-examiner reproducibility of Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) parameters in healthy subjects using the waveform score (WS) for quality control of acquisition.

Patients And Methods: Fifteen healthy subjects had their intraocular pressure (IOP) measured with ORA by 2 masked examiners. An acquisition protocol that aimed at obtaining 4 reliable measurements in each eye with WS≥6 and with as few repeated measurements as possible was employed, whereas a maximum of 8 measurements per eye was allowed.
