Artificial intelligence in pediatric myopia - a narrative review

This review examines the promising potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in pediatric ophthalmology, specifically in the assessment, prediction, management, and treatment of myopia in children. The use of AI, particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), in predicting myopia in children has garnered significant interest for its potential in early screening, detection, prognosis prediction, monitoring of anti-myopia treatment, personalized interventions, and proactive management strategies. This review aims to summarize the current literature on myopia and AI, presenting them as emerging trends and future directions in the pediatric population, and highlighting emerging strategies for the future of myopia management.
