[ad_1]  Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can predict the risk of long-term visual impairment in patients with high myopia, one of the top three causes of irreversible blindness in many regions of the world.The team at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) said its machine-learning model works well for predicting—and visualising—the risk of visual impairment over the long term. Machine learning is a type of AI focused on building computer systems that learn from data, enabling software to improve its performance over time. People with extreme shortsightedness (called high myopia) can clearly see objects that are near to them but cannot focus on objects at a distance.Contacts, glasses, or surgery can be used to correct their vision, but hav...
