Artificial intelligence may be able to estimate the best corrected visual acuity of patients with diabetic macular edema from fundus photographs, according to a study.
“This investigation found that AI can estimate BCVA directly from color fundus photographs of patients with DME, often within 1 to 2 lines on an ETDRS chart,” the study authors wrote. “These findings support use of AI systems to estimate BCVA using this method for patients undergoing anti-VEGF treatment of DME without refraction or subjective VA measurements.”
The authors used deidentified color fundus
