Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming both everyday life and the future of eye care. This session will explore how AI is already shaping clinical decision-making, diagnostics, and patient interaction, and what’s coming next. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how to interpret and communicate AI-driven insights in practice, while considering the ethical and professional responsibilities that come with this evolving technology. Combining real examples with forward-looking discussion, the session aims to inspire confidence and curiosity about integrating AI into modern eye care.

Learning outcomes: 

• Practitioners will identify ways to explain AI-supported findings and recommendations clearly to patients, promoting understanding and trust in technology-assisted care
• Practitioners will recognise current and emerging applications of artificial intelligence in eye care and assess how these tools can enhance clinical accuracy and efficiency
