Aug 7, 2024, 07:05 PM

Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed a deep learning model to detect eye conditions such as myopia, strabismus, and ptosis in children using smartphone images. This model, tested on 476 patients, showed over 80% accuracy. The study highlights the potential of AI in improving eye health for children, particularly in China, where myopia affects 50% of those under 18.
