Last paper of 2025! Foundation model vs classic CNN for teleretinal glaucoma screening: •RETFound ≈ VGG-19 with plentiful data •RETFound wins with small datasets & domain shift •Image cropping boosts accuracy but hurts generalizability #AI @AAOjournal tinyurl.com/xulab22

LPI works, but not for everyone! Our analysis of 5-year RCT data shows 1/3 of @angleclosure persists after LPI. Thicker iris + narrower angles predicted worse response. Time for anatomy-guided risk stratification, not one-size-fits-all care? @AAOjournal tinyurl.com/xulab20

Fantastic weekend at #AAO2025 in sunny Orlando, FL! Exciting to share updates on our #angleclosure and #AI research and moderate a session on the sustainability and environmental impact of eye care. Always wonderful to see so many friends and colleagues! 🌎👁️ @USCEye @AGSDocs

I have to agree that sometimes the peer review process really does feel like this...

New work from the Xu lab @JAMAOphth! In countywide @LADHS teleretinal screening program (84,008 patients, 168,796 dilations), only 4 acute angle closure events occurred. 2.4 per 100,000 dilations supports the safety of pharmacologic dilation. Read more: tinyurl.com/xulab17

New from our team 👁️💰 We analyzed 2-year eye care costs for newly diagnosed PACG. Average cost ≈ $2,960, but the top 5% (> $9,800) accounted for 21% of spending. Older age increased risk for high-cost care. Free to read: tinyurl.com/xulab16 #Glaucoma #HealthEconomics

Whirlwind 4-day trip to beautiful Sri Lanka for the 16th Asian Angle Closure #Glaucoma Club and Singapore to visit SNEC. Wonderful to share advances in #angleclosure research and see so many amazing friends and sights. Thanks to @TOphth and @snec_seri for the warm hospitality!

Better late than never? A few highlights from ASCRS in LA and ARVO in Salt Lake City. It was wonderful to share our work on #AI and #DataScience, including stellar talks by my @USCEye PGY3 mentees, Kendra Hong and Kimberley Yu. See you next again next year! @ARVOinfo @ASCRStweets

Ryan's second #AI paper compares the performance of @OpenAI o1 to other LLMs, including a lite version of @deepseek_ai. Impressively, Deepseek lite outperformed o1 in first-order (recall) questions. This bodes well for accessible AI use in ophthalmology! tinyurl.com/xulab15

I am excited to share the first of two #AI papers by @USC MS4, Ryan Shean! We found that @OpenAI o1 outperforms human trainees and other LLMs in ophthalmology board-style questions. This has important implications for AI use in education. @AAOjournal tinyurl.com/xulab14
