Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Advances in artificial intelligence have integrated into modern medicine decision making and diagnostics. Artificial intelligence in ophthalmology has become more ingrained in refractive surgery because of extensive use of diagnostic modalities including interpretation of anterior segment imaging used in refractive surgery. The role of artificial intelligence has increased to include biometry for the accurate selection of intraocular lenses (IOLs), detection of pathology such as cornea ectasia and keratoconus, sizing of phakic IOLs, as well as surgical decision making for the surgeon and patient. Artificial intelligence will also play a role in education of future medical professionals who will choose refractive surgery as a career.
