Artificial intelligence is already changing how optometrists document care, analyze clinical information, communicate with patients, and operate their practices. This practical, non-promotional course separates useful tools from hype. Using real-world optometric examples, participants will examine current applications in clinical imaging, documentation, patient education, professional correspondence, workflow design, and practice analytics. The course also addresses accuracy, privacy, bias, regulatory uncertainty, and the continuing need for clinician oversight. Attendees will leave with a framework for deciding where AI adds value, where it creates risk, and how to begin one carefully selected implementation in their own practice.
