Abstract

Introduction: Artificial intelligence has revolutionized medical education through the application of advanced tools. Ophthalmology has experienced significant growth in recent decades thanks to advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technology. At the same time, the educational methods used in the training of ophthalmologists have evolved considerably.

Objective: To identify the impact of the application of artificial intelligence in the context of medical training in ophthalmology.

Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in the PubMed Central, SciELO, PLoS Medicine, LILACS, Google Scholar, Trip Database, and Emerald databases, covering articles published between 2010 and 2024. Combinations of the terms "Artificial Intelligence" with "ophthalmology teaching", "ophthalmology education", "ophthalmology training" and "Eyesi simulator" were used. Of the 573 articles found, eight relevant studies were selected.

Results: The selected studies covered various applications of artificial intelligence in ophthalmic education. Two studies used surgical simulators with intelligent tutoring systems, demonstrating improvements in the development of practical skills. Two other studies used automated diagnosis assisted by artificial intelligence, optimizing the acquisition of diagnostic skills. Four studies implemented adaptive learning with intelligent tutoring systems and competency-based assessment, demonstrating their effectiveness in personalizing medical training.

Conclusions: Artificial intelligence has established itself as a transformative tool in ophthalmic education, providing innovative solutions that enhance the development of practical and diagnostic skills, as well as the personalization of learning. Its application offers new opportunities to overcome limitations inherent to traditional educational methods.
