Application of artificial intelligence in oculoplastics: a review

Oculoplastics is a sub-specialty of ophthalmology/dermatology concerned with eyelid, orbital and lacrimal diseases. Artificial intelligence (AI), with its powerful ability to analyze large data sets, has dramatically benefited oculoplastics. The cutting-edge AI technology is widely applied to extract ocular parameters and to use these results for further assessment, such as screening and diagnosis of blepharoptosis and predicting the progression of thyroid eye disease. AI also assists in treatment procedures, such as surgical strategy planning in blepharoptosis. High efficiency and high reliability prove to be the most apparent advantages of AI, with promising prospects. The prospects of AI in oculoplastics may lie in 3D modeling technology and image generation. We retrospectively summarize A.I. applications involving eyelid, orbital, and lacrimal diseases in oculoplastics., and we also examine the strengths and weaknesses of A.I. technology in oculoplastics.
