AI Is Changing the Way You Practice: What Every Optometrist Needs to Know in 2025

Описание: Artificial intelligence isn’t on the horizon. It’s in your lane, right now, and is fast becoming the backbone of modern eye care.

Here’s the real question: Are you ahead of this shift — or already behind it?

In this forward-looking episode of Power Hour, host Eugene Shatsman is joined by Dr. Scot Morris and Dr. Rehan Ahmed — practicing optometrists, AI innovators, and co-editors of the acclaimed AI in Eyecare journal.

Drs. Morris and Ahmed break down the tools that are working now — and the ones on the verge of mainstream rollout. Think voice-enabled scribes, AI-powered prior auths, EHR-integrated large language models, and receptionists that don’t just book appointments but help manage intake and triage automatically.
