Description
A discussion was held on the future of eye care and AI and potential changes it will bring to the profession and patient care, with panelists Tareq Nabhan, O.D., assistant clinical professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and Adam Parker, O.D., who shared their passion for artificial intelligence (AI). Drs. Nabhan and Parker were asked, among other things, how doctors of optometry should be preparing for AI? “Get a ChatGPT account,” said Dr. Parker, who has used his account to craft social media posts and websites on glaucoma and AMD, as well as an abstract image of the eye to hang in his office and a patient letter. “By using it, you educate yourself about what it can do and what it can’t do, at least for now.” Dr. Nabhan echoed these comments and spoke on how it’s important to prepare students for a future with AI. “A culture change is required,” he said.
