“The Eye as a Window to the Brain: From Candlelight to Artificial Intelligence”
For more than a hundred and fifty years, physicians knew that the appearance of the ocular fundus (the back of the eye) is a window into the neurologic and systemic health of human beings, as poets and writers also knew that the eye is the window to the soul. Through innovative technology and most recently via artificial intelligence tools, Dr. Newman and Dr. Biousse have championed and re-introduced the examination of the ocular fundus into mainstream medical practice.
