Abstract

PURPOSE: Eye rubbing is considered to play a significant role in the progression of keratoconus and of corneal ectasia following refractive surgery. To our knowledge, no tool performs an objective quantitative evaluation of eye rubbing using a device that is familiar to typical patients. We introduce here an innovative solution for objectively quantifying and preventing eye rubbing. It consists of an application that uses a deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm deployed on a smartwatch.
