Ophthalmologists

• Glaucoma
  A leading cause of blindness in seniors, Glaucoma has many different symptoms if you catch them early you may help prevent further damage. It is very important that you get your eyes checked frequently as you age.
• Ophthalmology
  The study itself was designed to test and improve the diagnostic accuracy of ophthalmologists using complex AI systems. Ten different ophthalmologists with varying levels of training and experience were chosen to grade close to 1,800 images of eyes belonging to diabetic patients, rating them from “normal” to “severe.” The first time the images were read without help from the AI, and relied only on the ophthalmologists ’ personal experience and skill. Then, the algorithm came up with a grade on its own, followed by an explanation of why that specific grade was chosen. To no surprise, when ophthalmologists had help from the AI, diagnoses were not only more accurate than before, the experts were also more confident in their own professional opinion. Dr. Chang, the assistant professor of ophthalmology at the Medical Center at Stanford University attributes this mostly to the “second opinion effect,” in which “doctors’ accuracy is often improved when they have the help of an expert system that performs like another doctor.”
• Macular Degeneration
  Occurring more often in adults over 50, this is one of the leading causes of vision loss. Macular degeneration is a loss of central vision but does not cause complete blindness.

• Cataract Surgery
  Right now, a lot of research is being conducted around the world to help expose the correlation between visual health and cognitive function. Most recently, a study that came out of England even concluded that “people who have had cataract surgery have better mental function in later life,” which coincides with what a lot of other research is finding. Meanwhile, other studies are being conducted to prove the contrary, linking visual impairment to weaker cognitive function in seniors and older adults. While many ocular professionals suggest that the improved cognitive function in these patients has more to do with improved social engagement, independence, and increased activity resulting from the visual correction treatments themselves, even more are keeping a close eye on all the emerging research related to how exactly fixing seniors’ vision can improve their long-term brain health and enhance their quality of life.

Psychiatrists

• Stress Management
  Glaucoma is a serious condition that can greatly affect the quality of life of those who have it. If not managed properly, excessive pressure inside the eye can even cause optic nerve damage, which can result in reduced vision or even total blindness. In fact, of the more than 65 million people around the world who suffer from glaucoma, it’s estimated that at least 10% are completely blind already. However, recent studies are beginning to prove that proper stress management techniques and mindfulness meditation may actually be effective in helping to fight off glaucoma.

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care
• Diabetic Retinopathy
  Diabetic retinopathy is retinopathy (damage to the retina) caused by complications of diabetes mellitus, which can eventually lead to blindness. It affects up to 80% of all patients who have had diabetes for 10 years or more. Despite these intimidating statistics, research indicates that at least 90% of these new cases could be reduced if there was proper and vigilant treatment and monitoring of the eyes.  The longer a person has diabetes, the higher their chances of developing diabetic retinopathy.
