- Researchers recently developed an AI-based glaucoma screening system using deep learning models
- The system was able to detect early structural signs of glaucoma using macula-centered fundus images with high accuracy and specificity
- The researchers wrote that the system offers a scalable solution with integration to telehealth platforms and portable devices for early glaucoma detection that has the potential to prevent irreversible vision loss
- It may be especially useful for remote or underserved communities
