Expert systems use artificial intelligence and human expertise to make decisions. While common in business and medicine, their application in optometry is limited due to cost-effectiveness concerns.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Optometry

Background:

  • Expert systems are AI-powered programs that use heuristics (IF...THEN rules or learned examples) to make logical decisions.
  • These systems capture human expertise, with current applications widespread in business and medicine.
  • Few expert systems are currently utilized within the field of optometry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential role and current limitations of expert systems in optometric practice.

Main Methods:

  • The study reviews the nature of expert systems and their decision-making processes.
  • It assesses the applicability of rule-oriented AI in ophthalmic procedures.
  • Current adoption rates and barriers in optometry are considered.

Main Results:

  • Expert systems are defined by their AI-driven decision-making based on expert knowledge.
  • Optometry presents a field where rule-based systems could be beneficial due to procedural similarities.
  • The primary barrier to adoption in optometry is the unfavorable cost-effectiveness of developing these systems.

Conclusions:

  • Expert systems have the potential to be valuable tools in optometry.
  • Further development is hindered by the current economic viability of implementing such technology in optometric practices.
