Ophthalmic Imaging AI: Computer Vision for Retinal Disease Prediction

Presented by Kerry E. Ashby, MS, John Giannini, PhD, Syed Haqqani, MS, Amberlynn Reed, MPH in Ophthalmology, Radiology Jun 10, 2026 | 1:45 PM.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly expanding the diagnostic value of ophthalmic imaging, transforming retinal photographs and optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans into rich sources of predictive clinical insight. As deep learning and computer vision methods mature, retinal imaging is increasingly being used not only to document ocular abnormalities, but also to identify subtle biomarkers associated with progressive diseases…
