[Artificial intelligence based on images in ophthalmology].

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology will greatly reduce the workload of ophthalmologists. Machine learning is an important branch of AI, and deep learning is the most important algorithm in machine learning. At present, AI is well applied in the ophthalmic field. This article summarizes the use of AI in ophthalmology and discusses its inadequacy and future to provide reference for clinical practice. (Chin J Ophthalmol, 2021, 57: 465-469).
