AI and robotic eye screening implementation in Europe

Overview

Medical facilities in Central and Eastern Europe are implementing artificial intelligence and robotic systems to enhance preventive eye care.

In the Czech Republic, University Hospital Ostrava launched the OKO 213 project, which utilizes the MIKAJAKI EyeLib™ system. This technology employs sensors, robotics, and AI to perform non-contact, painless examinations that measure over one hundred ocular parameters without requiring pupil dilation. While AI generates detailed reports, ophthalmologists evaluate the data to guide patient care.

In Bulgaria, a mobile screening campaign titled ‘See Your Eyes in Time’ has been introduced to provide free diagnostic sessions using AI. Targeting individuals aged 50 and older and those with diabetes, the initiative uses specialized fundus cameras to capture retinal images. The software is designed to detect early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration to facilitate specialist referrals.
