DeepMind artificial intelligence (AI) can detect almost 50 different eye diseases by analyzing three-dimensional retinal scan images.
After Google acquired DeepMind, the British artificial intelligence company famous for its AlphaGo algorithm that defeated the world champion in the Go strategy game, in 2014, DeepMind has become able to detect almost 50 different eye diseases by examining three-dimensional retinal scan images. According to an article published in the British journal Nature Medicine, the algorithm, developed using anonymized health data, can detect diseases such as yellow spot and eye diabetes with a success rate close to that of specialist physicians.
It can also inform patients about the treatment methods they should follow and what they need to do urgently. The software primarily aims to facilitate the work of specialist physicians. In this context, when a disease is detected, the findings on the basis of which this decision is made are shared with the physician. The parts of the image that may be related to the disease are even labeled with a prediction percentage. This helps the physician make a more accurate assessment. The examination of three-dimensional retinal scan data can take a long time and patients may experience problems that can lead to temporary vision loss. With artificial intelligence, it may be possible to shorten this time, and especially patients who are thought to have a serious problem may be moved to the front line.
How Deepmind Works?
What is particularly important about the research, according to DeepMind’s Co-Founder Mustafa Suleyman, is that the AI has a level of ‘explainability’ that can increase doctors’ trust in its recommendations. He said, “It is possible for the clinician to interpret what the algorithm is thinking. They can look at the underlying segmentation. In other words, our AI software doesn’t work like a mysterious black box that reveals the results. DeepMind’s AI was trained on a database of about 15,000 eye scans stripped of identifying information. DeepMind worked with clinicians to label areas of disease and then can calculate these labeled images with a percentage score in its system. The two-and-a-half year project required a major investment for DeepMind and involved Moorfields researchers as well as 25 other employees.” Suleyman called the findings a ‘research breakthrough’ and said the next step is to prove that AI works in a clinical setting, which will take several years.
Accelerating Eye Scans
He emphasizes that patients are at risk of losing their eyesight because doctors are unable to attend to eye scans in a timely manner. Mustafa Suleyman says that one of the reasons DeepMind and Moorfields undertook the research project was that clinicians were ‘overwhelmed’ by the demand for eye scans. He said, “If you have a sight-threatening condition, you want to be treated as soon as possible and unlike A&E, a staff nurse will talk to you and make an assessment of how serious your condition is, then use that assessment to decide how quickly you will be seen. When an eye scan is sent, there is no system for prioritizing medical intervention based on the severity of your scan. The fact that eye scans are done through artificial intelligence will speed up the whole process. It’s clear how Deepmind has the potential to transform public hospitals. In the future, we envision a person going to their local high street optician and getting an eye scan, and this algorithm will identify patients with sight-threatening diseases at a very early stage of the condition.”
Not Limited to the Eye
Artificial intelligence’s detection of diseases is not limited to the eye. The algorithm developed by MIT researchers Tuka Alhanai, Muhammad Ghassemi and James Glass can predict whether a person is depressed or not by analyzing their texts and voices. While therapists try to understand a person’s mental state through question and answer methods and observation, artificial intelligence tries to do this by looking at the content the person produces on certain topics. Of course, while the therapist detects depression, the AI only guesses. Snapchat has developed a similar artificial intelligence software. This application can determine how happy people in a selfie are on a scale of 1-5. This kind of software can help identify people who are ‘thought’ to be depressed and take precautions by analyzing their social media posts.

You enjoy sunbathing on the beach and feeling the gentle breeze on your face. However did you know that getting windblown sand and dust in your eyes can cause permanent vision loss?
Eye Health and Diseases Specialist Op. Dr. İlker Biçer said, “One of the most common eye problems during summer holidays is sand in the eye. A wrong intervention or delay in consulting a doctor after sand in the eye can cause eye diseases.”
Conjunctivitis (Eye Inflammation): As a result of sand and dust particles coming into contact with the eye, eye inflammation (conjunctivitis) may occur. Conjunctivitis manifests itself with symptoms such as redness, itching, watering, burning and stinging. An examination by a specialist ophthalmologist is usually sufficient for diagnosis. In treatment, eye drops or ointments are used to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms. Early diagnosis can prevent the progression of conjunctivitis.
Corneal Abrasion: The cornea is the transparent layer at the front of the eye and can be scratched when sand or dust rubs against its surface. Corneal abrasion causes symptoms such as pain, tenderness, redness, sensitivity to light and blurred vision.
Permanent Vision Loss: When sand or dust particles get into the eye and are not intervened early, undesirable conditions such as impingement under the eyelid and damage to the cornea may occur due to intraocular foreign body. This may result in permanent vision loss.
Ways to Protect Your Eyes from Sand
There are some precautions you can take before the windblown sand and dust gets into your eyes and turns your vacation into a nightmare. Wearing sunglasses on the beach is an effective way to protect your eyes from sand and dust. Wearing a hat or hat-like headgear on the beach can reduce the impact of direct sunlight on the eyes and the risk of foreign objects hitting the eyes. Wearing swimming goggles in windy weather, especially when swimming in shallow waters close to the beach, can also help protect your eye health from sand contact. Never rub your eyes if you get sand in your eyes. Rubbing your eyes can cause sand to scratch your cornea. After sanitizing your hands, you can wash your eyes with tear drops. If the sensitivity persists, you should consult a specialized eye health and diseases specialist before the symptoms worsen.

Recently, the number of people applying to hospitals has increased due to viruses that can cause eye infections.
Swelling of the eyelids, redness and watering of the eyes… All these are among the symptoms of viruses that cause eye infections, namely adenoviruses. Experts recommend paying attention to hand hygiene, not sharing personal belongings and consulting a doctor immediately when symptoms appear. Ophthalmologist Op. Dr. Gülşah Tezcan, who says that attention should be paid to hand hygiene, said, “This is mostly a very contagious disease. It can be transmitted mostly in collective living places. Children can get this disease especially in kindergartens and schools. In the following period, spots form on the cornea layer, which is the transparent layer of the eye.” Adenoviruses can be transmitted within 1 week and can be observed in all age groups. Experts have warnings to protect against eye infections. Op. Dr. Tezcan said, “It is very important to avoid contact in the disease. Because it is very contagious. After touching our face and eyes, we should definitely wash our hands before touching anywhere. It is also very important not to use make-up materials in common.” When symptoms occur, it is important to consult a doctor to prevent the risk of transmission of the disease.

Artificial intelligence has cracked the code between the eye and the brain. Artificial intelligence has achieved unprecedented success in decoding the brain.
Artificial intelligence is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. While the use of computers and artificial intelligence-based tools is increasing in all areas of life, it is a natural process for this use to become widespread in the field of medicine. The aim of medical artificial intelligence is to create artificial intelligence programs that can make recommendations in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Artificial intelligence developed in Switzerland can translate neural signals sent from the eyes to the brain into images. The technology could make blindness a thing of the past in the future. Artificial intelligence has decrypted the communication between the eyes and the brain. Artificial intelligence has achieved unprecedented success in decoding the brain. Cebra, an artificial intelligence developed in Geneva, Switzerland, can translate the neural signals sent from the eyes to the brain into images. Scientists converted the electrical signals in the brain of a mouse, which they showed a black and white movie, into an image with artificial intelligence. With data obtained only from brain scans, the movie the mouse watched was reproduced with 95% accuracy. Two different techniques are used to map brain activity in mice. The results of the research were published in the journal Nature. Experts aim to adapt the technology to the human brain. In this way, it will be possible to produce bionic eyes for the visually impaired in the future.
