AI retinal imaging analysis tools from Google Health and Notal Vision can detect diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration from fundus photos with high accuracy, augmenting diagnostic throughput. Surgical procedures including cataract surgery and retinal repair, complex multi-pathology cases, patient communication about vision loss, and managing intraoperative complications require a licensed ophthalmologist's skills. Through 2027 AI expands access to screening but surgical and complex diagnostic volume sustains ophthalmologist demand; the role evolves rather than shrinks.
