Core Tip

Core Tip: In this modern world, artificial intelligence-based algorithms have a definitive role in the early screening of different ocular diseases. Early screening helps in rapid referral and appropriate management to prevent sight-threatening complications. However, all said and done, it needs to be applied wisely to preserve the importance of human touch and empathy in clinical practice.
