AI may help with adherence in glaucoma

Summary: Glaucoma is an eye disease that slowly gets worse, but it usually has no early symptoms. Because of this, and because eye drops can be hard to use or expensive, many patients stop following their treatment plans. Doctors often only see patients for a few minutes, followed by months or even years of silence.

Now, Artificial Intelligence (AI) might help fix this! AI can look at health records to find patients who miss appointments or forget to refill their prescriptions. It can also use smart chatbots to talk to patients between visits, answer their questions, and keep them on track with their eye care so they don't lose their vision.
