Abstract
The article discusses the current state and prospects for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmological practice. The main areas of AI application are described, including automated diagnostics of eye diseases, personalized treatment, prognosis of the course of diseases and support of surgical interventions. An analysis of the existing approaches and technologies, such as deep learning and computer vision, which are used to analyze medical images and data, is provided. Particular attention is paid to data standardization, safety and ethical aspects of introducing AI into clinical practice. The importance of cooperation between specialists in different fields for the effective implementation of innovative technologies and improving the quality of medical care is emphasized.
