Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to systematically review and meta-analyze the diagnostic accuracy of current machine learning classifiers for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Artificial intelligence diagnostic algorithms can automatically detect and diagnose AMD through training data from large sets of fundus or OCT images. The use of AI algorithms is a powerful tool, and it is a method of obtaining a cost-effective, simple, and fast diagnosis of AMD.
