AI predicts vision loss years before symptoms appear in keratoconus patients

A new AI tool can predict blindness risk from keratoconus much earlier. Researchers at Moorfields Eye Hospital and University College London developed it. The AI analyzes eye scans to identify high-risk patients. Early detection allows timely treatment like cross-linking. This prevents vision loss and reduces unnecessary checkups. The technology promises better eye care and fewer transplants in the future.
