In this week’s episode of Real Talk, we dive into the future—now officially in the operating room!
Discover how Horizon Surgical’s robotic arms just made history by successfully performing fully automated, AI-guided cataract surgeries on real patients (10 for 10!). With OCT-guided precision and safe execution, could robots soon tackle the world’s most common surgery, especially as the demand outpaces the number of surgeons?
Then we break down “multimodal AI”—what does it mean for machines to “see” and “hear” like us? From images to audio, AI is starting to process information like the human body—using all senses at once. Why is this a bigger leap than you might think, and how will it change the way we diagnose and treat eye conditions?
Finally, picture this: eye exam kiosks showing up next to the blood pressure cuffs at your local grocery store. How are these innovations bridging the gap between retail and doctor’s offices? Are we democratizing—and decentralizing—eye care for everyone?
Tune in for sharp insights, real stories and a look at what’s next on the horizon for AI in eye care!
