What is A-Eye?
We are proud to be the leader in
introducing Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optometric practices, and it is now time for Iso Leso to
launch its own A-EYE platform. Our in-house developed AI platform
is available to all Iso Leso’s capitated contracted medical schemes and our associated shareholders
Optometry is being driven by
winds of change that present equal amounts of exciting opportunities and
threats as we navigate the fast-pace digital world. Modern technology and the
introduction of “machine learning” driven by algorithms that continues to
outperform human expertise, has had a great impact in several medical fields.
In the eye care field, most notably are the AI solutions offered in the early detection of diabetic retinopathy, age related macular degeneration and glaucoma. This is achieved via the uploading of a digital photographic image of the back of the eye that results in a report within 30 seconds.
AI is likely to become commonplace
over the next few years helping optometrists and ophthalmologists with clinical
decision-making and improved patient care.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is almost limitless as to how it can positively impact our world. And the optometry profession and your optometry practice, is no different. Embrace AI today and allow optometry to be an indispensable link in health care, improve your patients’ outcomes and strengthen your practice
