Hot off the press!
We automated the detection of infectious keratitis (IK) on KOH smears using Whole Slide Imaging + a DSMIL framework.

This AI solution enables faster, accurate diagnosis while reducing reliance on manual expertise.

It was a productive weekend in Palo Alto at the AUB North American Technology Conference.

I was glad to join the Health AI panel and discuss AI’s value in healthcare when built around clinical needs, rigorous validation, and thoughtful integration into real-world care.

@KfouryPeter Well deserved Peets! They’re lucky to have you.

@bubbleboi I scrolled directly to the epilogue which seemingly got updated with hidden gems

@bubbleboi Immersive story until you reach the last sentence

Great weekend presenting at OMIG & AAO.
At OMIG, I highlighted real-world barriers to AI deployment from our study using a KOH AI model in 3 Indian clinics.
At AAO, our work on latent supervision for medical diagnostic uncertainty won Best Paper in the cornea session.

Excited to be applying to the Ophthalmology match this cycle. As a postdoctoral scholar at the Casey Eye Institute, my work merges corneal imaging, OCT, and clinically useful AI. Looking forward to connect with the community! #OphthoMatch #Match2025

Our NeuralVision AI-driven platform demoed on the MS39 at the CSO booth at the ESCRS in Copenhagen:
Automated LASIK flap & SMILE/KLEx cap detection
ICL vault measurement
Previous laser vision correction history detection

💡 Stay tuned for the next MS39 update

Officially introducing Thermal Energy Conduction and Heating (TECH) our new iteration of our previous CAIRS extended dehydration technique, published in “Cornea” journal 2 years ago. Get your CAIRS super dry and rigid in just 5 minutes.

Our latest research on Angles Alpha and Kappa in myopic and hyperopic patients is now published in the Journal of Refractive Surgery!
This is the largest and most comprehensive study to date exploring the distribution of Angle Alpha and its relationship to Angle Kappa.

@KfouryPeter Excellent work Peter!

[Jad F. Assaf @AssafJad]

Grateful to present at the American Ophthalmological Society in Naples, FL!

Our poster focused on detecting corneal opacities on OCT using a cornea model accounting for incidence angle and depth-dependent reflectance. This enables objective opacity mapping and aids PTK planning.
