Abstract

An increasing amount of people are globally affected by retinal diseases, such as diabetes, vascular occlusions, maculopathy, alterations of systemic circulation, and metabolic syndrome. This review will discuss novel technologies in and potential approaches to the detection and diagnosis of retinal diseases with the support of cutting-edge machines and artificial intelligence (AI). The demand for retinal diagnostic imaging exams has increased, but the number of eye physicians or technicians is too little to meet the request. Thus, algorithms based on AI have been used, representing valid support for early detection and helping doctors to give diagnoses and make differential diagnosis. AI helps patients living far from hub centers to have tests and quick initial diagnosis, allowing them not to waste time in movements and waiting time for medical reply. Highly automated systems for screening, early diagnosis, grading and tailored therapy will facilitate the care of people, even in remote lands or countries. A potential massive and extensive use of AI might optimize the automated detection of tiny retinal alterations, allowing eye doctors to perform their best clinical assistance and to set the best options for the treatment of retinal diseases.
