Researchers at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have created a novel artificial intelligence (AI) model capable of forecasting the likelihood of sustained vision impairment in individuals with high myopia, a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. The machine-learning model, developed to predict and visualize long-term visual impairment risk, demonstrates effectiveness. High myopia, extreme nearsightedness, can be corrected with contacts, glasses, or surgery, but it may result in pathologic myopia, a significant contributor to blindness.
