Eyes wide open: the age of oculomics This CPD article considers the potential of oculomics in the early detection of systemic diseases and how this can serve collaboration between optometrists and physicians for integrative healthcare

Eyes aren’t just for vision, they’re a data-rich “window” on systemic health and Optometrists can have a key role in unlocking this.

Here is my whistle-stop tour for #Optometry Today subscribers on the role Optoms can play in truly integrated care:

Eye–systemic axis and #oculomics links getting some attention

For more than 100 years, doctors have known that the eyes can be used as a window to the rest of the body. Now, thanks to the power of AI and big data, we can find information hidden within retinal images and use this information to pick up early signs of neurodegenerative diseases.

How might AI help us to detect dementia through retinal scans? 👀 We spoke to Prof Pearse Keane (@ucleye.bsky.social) about pioneering studies in the emerging field of #oculomics ➡️ buff.ly/UJkjgXJ #UCLDementia

Quote from Professor Pearse Keane of the NIHR Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre, with a photo of him wearing a blue shirt in the top right corner. The quote reads: 'Receiving The Gabor Medal from The Royal Society, which has such a distinguished provenance, provides an exceptional opportunity to bring greater visibility to my work and that of my research lab. I think the award will provide a valuable platform for sharing our work at the forefront of AI in healthcare and helping us connect with a wider community.

Congratulations to our Theme Lead Pearse Keane for receiving the @royalsociety.org Gabor Medal for his pioneering use of AI in retinal image analysis for the diagnosis of eye & systemic disease. #oculomics
