Whirlwind 4-day trip to beautiful Sri Lanka for the 16th Asian Angle Closure #Glaucoma Club and Singapore to visit SNEC. Wonderful to share advances in #angleclosure research and see so many amazing friends and sights. Thanks to @TOphth and @snec_seri for the warm hospitality!
New review from our group 🧠👁️ How #AI and deep learning are advancing anterior and posterior segment OCT imaging for glaucoma diagnostics — plus key challenges & opportunities for #Glaucoma and #Ophthalmology care. @USCEye Free to read: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12…
For those interested in #AI use in eye care, I recently lectured on this topic at the @HD_Engineering International #Glaucoma Symposium. I presented our current AI collaboration with @ladhs and implementation barriers we have encountered. @USCEye youtube.com/watch?v=PKotZd…
Better late than never? A few highlights from ASCRS in LA and ARVO in Salt Lake City. It was wonderful to share our work on #AI and #DataScience, including stellar talks by my @USCEye PGY3 mentees, Kendra Hong and Kimberley Yu. See you next again next year! @ARVOinfo @ASCRStweets
Ryan's second #AI paper compares the performance of @OpenAI o1 to other LLMs, including a lite version of @deepseek_ai. Impressively, Deepseek lite outperformed o1 in first-order (recall) questions. This bodes well for accessible AI use in ophthalmology! tinyurl.com/xulab15
I am excited to share the first of two #AI papers by @USC MS4, Ryan Shean! We found that @OpenAI o1 outperforms human trainees and other LLMs in ophthalmology board-style questions. This has important implications for AI use in education. @AAOjournal tinyurl.com/xulab14
Highly productive and fun time in Honolulu for World #Glaucoma Congress 2025! We updated the @WorldGlaucoma Consensus on #angleclosure and introduced the AAB global research mentorship program. I saw close friends and a beautiful double rainbow! Looking forward to WGC Kyoto 2027!
Congratulations to stellar @USCEye PGY3, Kendra Hong, in our most recent collaboration with the ZAP Trial team! We showed that short-term changes in the lens and angle in AS-OCT images can help predict long-term #angleclosure progression. #glaucoma tinyurl.com/xulab13
Congratulations to Dr. Kristy Yoo for graduating medical school! I'm excited that she will be joining us @USCEye for residency. Next up is my MS4 mentee, Tracy Lang, who has been doing amazing research on pharmacologic dilation and acute #angleclosure. More details soon!
It’s really incredible how quickly AI has evolved this past year. This type of visual generative output is transformative.
It’s really incredible how quickly AI has evolved this past year. This type of visual generative output is transformative.
In this @VuMedi recording of my @AGSDocs lecture, I discuss the challenges of #angleclosure #glaucoma detection and how OCT imaging, #AI, and #DataScience may help us address this serious public health issue in the future. @USCEye vumedi.com/video/ags-2025…
I also had the pleasure of collaborating with Dr. Cindy Cai @JohnsHopkins to study the association between GLP1-RA (e.g. Ozempic) and NAION, a serious eye condition. In a cohort of 37 million patients, GLP1-RA use increased risk of NAION by 1.3 times! tinyurl.com/xulab11
Another great American #Glaucoma Society meeting, this time in DC! It was wonderful to see so many friends and mentors. Also, I am proud of my my mentees, Kim Yu and Tracy Lang, for their excellent podium presentations. See you 2026 in Palm Springs! #DataScience @USCEye @AGSDocs
