Sydney ophthalmologist Dr Simon Chen explains how a borderline case, a quiet correction from an optometrist, and a failed image-parsing artificial intelligence (AI) experiment led to DRIVE Fields, a free Austroads driving-fields tool for Australian clinicians.
Eye care professionals were once confined to prescribing traditional single-vision lenses that only corrected blurry distance vision, now we can potentially slow myopia progression using highly technical, evidence-based spectacle and contact lenses, sometimes in combination with other treatments.
