In this lecture we will explore how AI-driven innovations are rapidly transforming every level of optical care from advanced diagnostic tools that enhance early detection and treatment to the evolving roles of healthcare professionals. Attendees will be guided through a journey that parallels Edison's groundbreaking invention, showing how we are witnessing a similarly profound shift in eyecare technology. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how AI is poised to reshape their daily work, what’s available today, the guidelines around it, as well as the challenges in its adoption.
