随着人工智能(artificial intelligence，AI)技术的快速发展，基于深度学习(deep learning，DL)和机器学习的AI技术在医学领域上的应用受到了广泛的关注。AI在眼科的应用也逐渐向更全面更深入的层次发展，通过角膜断层扫描、光学相干断层扫描、裂隙灯图像等技术，AI在对角膜病变、结膜病变、白内障、青光眼等眼部疾病的诊断和治疗方面都表现出了良好的性能。然而AI在眼科的应用方面也存在一些诸如结果可解释性的欠缺、数据集标准化的缺乏、数据集质量的不齐、模型适用性的不足和伦理问题等挑战。在5G和远程医疗飞速发展的时代，眼科AI同时也有许多新的机遇。本文综述了AI在前段眼科疾病中的应用、临床实施的潜在挑战和前景，为AI在眼科领域的进一步发展提供参考信息。

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the application of AI technology based on deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) in the medical field has received widespread attention. The application of AI in ophthalmology is gradually being shifted to a more comprehensive and in-depth level. Trained on corneal tomography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), slit-lamp images, and other techniques. AI can achieve robust performance in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal lesions, conjunctival lesions, cataract, glaucoma and other ophthalmic diseases. However, there are also some challenges in the application of AI in ophthalmology, including the lack of interpretability of results, lack of standardization of data sets, uneven quality of data sets, insufficient applicability of models and ethical issues. In the era of 5G and telemedicine, there are also many new opportunities for ophthalmic AI. In this review, we provided a summary of the state-of-the-art AI application in anterior segment ophthalmic diseases, potential challenges in clinical implementation and its development prospects, and provides reference information for the further development of artificial intelligence in the field of ophthalmology.

人工智能(artificial intelligence，AI)在白内障手术中的应用越来越广泛，二者结合对于白内障手术的术前诊断和分级管理、术中人工晶状体选择、位置预测及术后管理(视力预测、并发症预测及随访)、手术培训和教学方面均起到巨大的促进作用。诚然，AI在与白内障手术相关的管理、分析和研究中还面临着许多问题，但其广泛的应用前景不可忽视。现对AI在白内障手术治疗和教学中的应用做以总结，并对其未来的发展做出展望。

This review summarizes the application of AI in cataract surgery and teaching, and the future prospects of AI.

近年来，眼科人工智能(artificial intelligence，AI)迅猛发展，眼底影像因易获取及其丰富的生物信息成为研究热点，眼底影像的AI分析在眼底影像分析中的应用不断深入、拓展。目前，关于糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy，DR)、年龄相关性黄斑变性(age-related macular degeneration，AMD)、青光眼等常见眼底疾病的临床筛查、诊断和预测已有较多AI研究，相关成果已逐步应用于临床实践。除眼科疾病以外，探究眼底特征与全身各种疾病之间的关系并据此研发AI诊断系统已经成为当下的又一热门研究领域。AI应用于眼底影像分析将改善医疗资源紧缺、诊断效率低下的情况，为多种疾病的筛查和诊断开辟“新赛道”。未来眼底影像AI分析的研究应着眼于多种眼底疾病的智能性、全面性诊断，对复杂性疾病进行综合性的辅助诊断；注重整合标准化、高质量的数据资源，提高算法性能、设计贴合临床的研究方案。

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology has developed rapidly. Fundus image has become a research hotspot due to its easy access and rich biological information. The application of AI analysis in fundus image is under continuous development and exploration. At present, there have been many AI studies on clinical screening, diagnosis and prediction of common fundus diseases such as diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and glaucoma, and related achievements have been gradually applied in clinical practice. In addition to ophthalmic diseases, exploring the relationship between fundus features and various diseases and developing AI diagnostic systems based on this has become another popular research field. The application of AI in fundus image analysis will improve the shortage of medical resources and low diagnostic efficiency, and open up a “new track” for screening and diagnosis of various diseases. In the future, research on AI analysis of fundus image should focus on the intelligent and comprehensive diagnosis of multiple fundus diseases, and comprehensive auxiliary diagnosis of complex diseases, and lays emphasis on the integration of standardized and high-quality data resources, improve algorithm performance, and design clinically appropriate research program.

传统的眼底手术要求眼科医生具备精细的操作技术，但即便拥有再精湛的操作技术，眼底手术还是存在很大的风险性。因此，为了减少手术风险，提高手术质量，对传统眼底手术进行改进是十分必要的。近年来，在我国对于人工智能产业的大力支持之下，应用于各类行业的机器人随之诞生。机器人辅助系统(robot auxiliary system，RAS)在医学领域，特别是眼科学中应用广泛。对近几年RAS应用于眼底手术的案例进行整理总结，并将RAS参与的眼底手术以及传统的眼底手术进行对比，可以发现RAS在眼底手术中的应用可以显著提高手术效率，并降低手术风险。未来RAS的发展趋势可能着重聚焦于与深度学习算法的紧密结合。通过算法对手术中的视野图像进行预测、优化，从而让高精度的眼底手术更加高效、安全。

Traditional fundus surgery requires ophthalmologists to be equipped with sophisticated operating techniques, but even with the most sophisticated operating techniques, fundus surgery still has great risks. Therefore, in order to reduce the risk of surgery and improve the quality of surgery, it is very necessary to improve the traditional fundus surgery. In recent years, with China’s strong support for the artificial intelligence industry, robots used in various industries have been born. Robot auxiliary system (RAS) is widely used in the medical field, especially in ophthalmology. By summarizing the cases of fundus surgery with RAS in recent years and comparing the fundus surgery involving RAS with traditional fundus surgery, it can be found that the application of RAS in fundus surgery can significantly improve the efficiency of surgery and reduce the risk of surgery. The future development trend of RAS may focus on the close integration with deep learning algorithms, which can predict and optimize the field of view images during surgery so that high-precision fundus surgery can be more efficient and safer.

人工智能是对人类智能的模拟和拓展。基于深度学习的人工智能可以很好地利用图像的内在特征，如轮廓、框架等，来分析图像。研究人员通常利用图像来诊断眼底病，因此将人工智能应用于眼底检查是有意义的。在眼科领域，人工智能通过分析光学相干断层扫描图像、眼底照片和超宽视野图像，已经在检测多种眼底疾病上取得了类似医生的性能。它也已经被广泛应用于疾病进展预测。然而，人工智能在眼科的应用也存在一些潜在的挑战，黑盒问题是其中之一。研究人员致力于开发更多的可解释的深度学习系统，并确认其临床可行性。人工智能在最流行的眼底病中的最新应用、可能遇到的挑战以及未来的道路将一一阐述。

Artificial intelligence (AI) is about simulating and expanding human intelligence. AI based on deep learning (DL) can analyze images well by using their inherent features, such as outlines, frames and so on. As researchers generally diagnoses ocular fundus diseases by images, it makes sense to apply AI to fundus examination. In ophthalmology, AI has achieved doctor-like performance in detecting multiple ocular fundus diseases through optical coherence tomography (OCT) images, fundus photographs, and ultra-wide-field (UWF) images. It has also been widely used in disease progression prediction. Nonetheless, there are also some potential challenges with AI application in ophthalmology, one of which is the black-box problem. Researchers are devoted to developing more interpretable deep learning systems (DLS) and confirming their clinical feasibility. This review describes a summary of the state-of-the-art AI application in the most popular ocular fundus diseases, potential challenges and the path forward.

近年来随着人口老龄化的发展、人群用眼方式的改变，现有的眼科医疗资源正越来越难以满足日渐增长的医疗需求，亟需新型的诊疗模式予以补足。眼科人工智能作为眼科领域的新兴元素，在眼病的筛查诊断中发展迅速，主要表现为“眼部图像数据+人工智能”的模式。近年来，随着该模式在白内障、青光眼、糖尿病性视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy，DR)等常见病中研究的深入，相关技术日渐成熟，表现出了较大的应用优势与应用前景，部分技术甚至成功转化并被逐渐应用于临床。眼科诊疗向智慧医学模式的过渡，有望缓解日益增长的医疗需求与紧缺的医疗资源之间的矛盾，从而提高整体的医疗服务水平。

The development of population aging and changes in the way people use their eyes over the recent years have increasingly challenged the existing ophthalmic medical resources to meet the growing medical needs, thus urgently calling for a novel diagnostic and treatment mode. Despite its status as an emerging sector in ophthalmology, ophthalmic artificial intelligence has developed rapidly in the screening and diagnosis of eye diseases, as can be seen in practices adopting the “eye imaging data + AI” mode. In recent years, with the intensified research on this mode with respect to common diseases such as cataract, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, relevant technologies have grown increasingly mature, presenting undeniable application superiority and prospects. Some of the relevant technical achievements have also been successfully transformed for practical usage, and are gradually being applied to clinical practices. Ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment are transitioning toward the era of intelligent medical services, which are expected to reduce the contradictions between the growing medical needs and the shortage of medical resources, as well as ultimately improve the overall experience of medical services.

近年来随着医疗领域数字化、信息化建设的加速推进，人工智能的应用越来越广泛，在眼科医学方面尤为突出。婴幼儿处于视觉系统发育的关键时期，此时发生的眼病往往会造成不可逆的视功能损伤，带来沉重的家庭和社会负担。然而，由于婴幼儿群体的特殊性以及小儿眼科医生的短缺，开展大规模小儿眼病筛查工作十分困难。最新研究表明：人工智能在先天性白内障、先天性青光眼、斜视、早产儿视网膜病变以及视功能评估等领域已经得到相关应用，在多种婴幼儿眼病的早期筛查、诊断分期、治疗建议等方面都有令人瞩目的表现，有效解决了许多临床难点与痛点。但目前婴幼儿眼科人工智能仍然不如成年人眼科发展充分，亟须进一步的探索和研发。

In recent years, with the acceleration of digitalization and informatization in medical field, artificial intelligence (AI) is more and more widely applied, especially in ophthalmology. Infants are in the critical period of visual development, during which eye diseases can lead to irreversible visual impairment and bring heavy burden to family and society. Due to the particularity of infants and the shortage of pediatric ophthalmologists, it is challenging to carry out large-scale screening for eye diseases of infants. According to the latest studies, AI has been studied and applied in the fields of congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma, strabismus, amblyopia, retinopathy of prematurity, and evaluation of visual function, and it has achieved remarkable performance in the early screening, diagnosis stage and treatment suggestions, solving many clinical difficulties and pain points effectively. However, AI for infantile ophthalmology is not as developed as for adult ophthalmology, so it needs further exploration and development.

全身疾病通过一定途径累及眼球，产生眼部病变，这些眼部病变的严重程度与全身疾病的进展密切相关。人工智能(artificial intelligence，AI)通过识别眼部病变，可以实现对全身疾病的评估，从而实现全身疾病早期诊断。检测巩膜黄染程度可评估黄疸；检测眼球后动脉血流动力学可评估肝硬化；检测视盘水肿，黄斑变性可评估慢性肾病(chronic kidney disease，CKD)进展；检测眼底血管损伤可评估糖尿病、高血压、动脉粥样硬化。临床医生可以通过眼部影像评估全身疾病的风险，其准确度依赖于临床医生的经验水平，而AI识别眼部病变评估全身疾病的准确度可与临床医生相媲美，在联合多种检测指标后，AI模型的特异性与敏感度均可得到显著提升，因此，充分利用AI可实现全身疾病的早诊早治。

Systemic diseases affect eyeballs through certain ways, resulting in eye diseases; The severity of eye diseases is closely related to the progress of systemic diseases. By identifying eye diseases, artificial intelligence (AI) can assess systemic diseases, so as to make early diagnosis of systemic diseases. For example, detection of the degree of icteric sclera can be used to assess jaundice. Detection of the hemodynamics of posterior eyeball can be used to evaluate cirrhosis. Detection of optic disc edema and macular degeneration can be used to evaluate the progress of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Detection of ocular fundus vascular injury can be used to assess diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Clinicians can estimate the risk of systemic diseases through eye images, and its accuracy depends on the experience level of clinicians, while the accuracy of AI in identifying eye diseases and evaluating systemic diseases can be comparable to clinicians. After combining various detection indexes, the specificity and sensitivity of AI model can be significantly improved, so early diagnosis and early treatment of systemic diseases can be realized by making full use of AI.

The new generation of smart phones can perform health analysis by tracking the step numbers, monitoring heart rate and sleep quality, taking photos and other approaches, thereby becoming a new medical aid tool. With the continuous development of deep learning technology in the field of image processing, intelligent diagnosis based on medical imaging has blossomed in many disciplines, which is expected to completely change the traditional eye diseases diagnosis and treatment mode of hospitals. The conventional diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases often relies on various forms of images, such as slit lamp biological microscope, fundus imaging, optical coherence tomography, etc. As a result, ophthalmology has become one of the fastest growing areas of medical artificial intelligence (AI). The deployment of ophthalmological AI diagnosis and treatment system on smart phones is expected to improve the diagnostic efficiency and screening coverage to relieve the strain of medical resources, which has a great development prospect. This review focuses on the prevention and telemedicine progress of eye diseases based on deep learning and smart phones, taking diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataract as examples to describe the specific research, application and prospect of deep learning and smart phones in the management of eye diseases.

当下，我国眼科的发展存在失衡现象，大城市与农村及偏远地区在眼科相关诊疗设施水平、诊疗技术等方面存在巨大差异，仍需探寻新的智能诊疗模式以解决失衡问题。由于眼球是唯一可以直接观察人体血管和神经的器官，眼部可反映其他脏器的健康状态，部分眼科检查的医学图像可对眼部疾病做出诊断等特点，眼科开展人工智能(artificial intelligence，AI)具有独到的优势。此外，人工智能可在一定程度上提高跨时间空间传递信息的精准度及效率。人工智能在眼科及远程信息传递的优势为解决眼科发展失衡状况提供了助力。本文从眼科人工智能在眼科远程医疗相关应用的角度，主要分析并总结当下我国人工智能在眼科相关疾病远程医疗中的发展程度、所具优势以及存在问题，并讨论眼科人工智能在远程医疗的应用展望。

At present, there is an imbalance in the development of ophthalmology in China. There are huge differences in the level of ophthalmology related facilities, diagnosis and treatment technologies between big cities and rural, remote areas. New intelligent diagnosis and treatment models are still needed to solve the imbalance. Since the eye is the only organ that can directly observe the blood vessels and nerves of the human body, the eye can reflect the health status of other organs and diagnosis of eye diseases based on medical images of some ophthalmic examinations can be made as well as other characteristics. Therefore, the development of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology has unique advantages. In addition, artificial intelligence can improve the accuracy and efficiency of information transmission across time and space to a certain extent. The advantages of artificial intelligence in ophthalmology and telematics are helping to solve the imbalance in ophthalmology development. From the perspective of the application of ophthalmic artificial intelligence in telemedicine, this paper mainly analyzes and summarizes the development degree, advantages and existing problems of artificial intelligence in the telemedicine of ophthalmic diseases in China, and discusses the prospect of the application of ophthalmic artificial intelligence in telemedicine.
