Abstract
Glaucoma refers to a spectrum of progressive optic neuropathies and remains the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Its insidious onset poses serious challenges to conventional diagnostic methods and clinicians striving to detect early-stage disease for timely and effective intervention. Artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated its ability to process and analyze large datasets which can help identify subtle changes in early glaucomatous clinical presentation. This study reviews the current state of AI utilization in glaucoma and elucidates the strengths and limitations of existing approaches. We dissect the role of AI in various domains: enhancing early detection and diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and refining treatment strategies to optimize patient outcomes. Furthermore, we address the ethical, legal, and social implications, alongside the inherent limitations of AI in the clinical setting. Despite these challenges, AI holds transformative potential for glaucoma management. Future directions emphasize the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, advanced and explainable algorithm development, and equitable healthcare access to fully realize the promise of AI in combating this vision-threatening condition.
