"AI Surpasses Experts in Glaucoma Detection, Promising Wider Screening Access"

A new study reveals that Artificial intelligence outperforms human graders in detecting glaucoma, potentially enhancing screening access and addressing visual impairment globally.

• Artificial intelligence programs correctly identified glaucoma cases 88% to 90% of the time, surpassing human graders accuracy of 79% to 81%, as reported at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.
• The studys findings were presented on October 24, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, highlighting the potential for AI to improve early detection of glaucoma and reduce visual impairment.
• Conducted by researchers from University College London, the study emphasizes the role of artificial intelligence in revolutionizing ophthalmology and enhancing patient care through more accessible screening.
