Article Synopsis
- The past two decades have seen a surge in interest and investment in AI, fueled by increased data, better computing power, and advanced modeling techniques.* -
- Ophthalmology is one field utilizing AI to enhance telemedicine and imaging, but there are challenges to address before widespread implementation.* -
- The article outlines a seven-step AI lifecycle, highlighting risks and proposing strategies for each phase, from data collection to post-deployment evaluation.*
Purpose: To compare the results of bilateral medial rectus recession (BMRc) versus bilateral medial rectus recession with Faden operation (BMRF) in the treatment of large-angle infantile esotropia.
Study Design: A double blinded, parallel, randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Patients with large-angle infantile esotropia (≥ 60 prism diopters, [PD]) aged between 3 and 15 years old were included and assigned to either the BMRc or BMRF group.
Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative disease responsible for more than 30 000 blind children worldwide. Its diagnosis and treatment are challenging due to the lack of specialists, divergent diagnostic concordance and variation in classification standards. While artificial intelligence (AI) can address the shortage of professionals and provide more cost-effective management, its development needs fairness, generalisability and bias controls prior to deployment to avoid producing harmful unpredictable results.

Design: Retrospective, interventional case series.
Methods: The setting for this study was an academic practice at Boston Children's Hospital.
Purpose: StrabisPIX is a smartphone application that allows clinicians to prescribe a series of self-obtained images of head position and eye alignment in nine positions of gaze that are uploaded onto a secure platform for clinician review. This study evaluates the clinical utility of this application.
Methods: In this prospective, nonmasked, cross-sectional study, 30 strabismus patients aged ≥2 years were evaluated.
Purpose: To describe a phenomenon, depression in attempted abduction, not previously recognized as a feature of Duane syndrome (DS).
Design: Retrospective, observational case series.
Methods: Setting: Institutional practice.
Purpose: To study methods and adverse events of postoperative, sedated suture adjustment after strabismus surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU).
Methods: We reviewed the postoperative experience of all children ≤18 years of age undergoing adjustable suture strabismus surgery at Boston Children's Hospital over a 3-year period. Time in the hospital, adverse events, and surgical outcomes were reviewed to evaluate safety and healthcare resource utilization.
Objective: To examine the accuracy of the intraocular lens calculation by SRK/T formula in pediatric cataract patients, by means of the prediction error after the cataract surgery.
Material And Method: A retrospective review of pediatric patients requiring cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation, between January 2006 and December 2013 was performed. Post-operative spherical equivalent was compared with the predicted calculation value from pre-operative SRK/T measurement, defined as prediction error (PE).
Purpose: To evaluate the sterility and safety of 100% nonpreserved, autologous, serum eye drop treatment in patients with ocular surface diseases.
Methods: A total of 147 autologous serum bottles (294 samples) from 21 patients with ocular surface diseases were included. Seven bottles with autologous serum were prepared for each patient, and each bottle was used for only 1 day, then discarded.
