Artificial intelligence in retinal image analysis: Development, advances, and challenges

Modern advances in diagnostic technologies offer the potential for unprecedented insight into ophthalmic conditions relating to the retina. We discuss the current landscape of artificial intelligence in retina with respect to screening, diagnosis, and monitoring of retinal pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, central serous chorioretinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. We review the methods used in these models and evaluate their performance in both research and clinical contexts and discuss potential future directions for investigation, use of multiple imaging modalities in artificial intelligence algorithms, and challenges in the application of artificial intelligence in retinal pathologies.& COPY; 2023 Elsevier Inc.
