What can A.I. do for you?

In the July 2023 edition of JAMA Ophthalmology, William Paul and colleagues published a study that showed that an AI system could do an okay job of estimating vision from pictures of the eye.

This was only done in the setting of diabetes, and the vision that it was estimating was best vision with the correct glasses in place, so it is really something useful only for eye diseases. However, it is amazing to see that an A.I. system can (sort of) tell how good the vision should be just based on an image of the retina.
