What is AI-powered eye screening?
EyeCare Hospital has partnered with EyRIS to bring AI-assisted retinal screening to the Maldives. A special camera takes photographs of your retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. EyRIS’s SELENA+ artificial intelligence system then analyses these images and produces a screening report within about a minute.
The report helps our eye care team identify people who may need a full eye examination, so that eye conditions can be picked up early, often before you notice any change in your sight.
What does it screen for?
- Diabetic retinopathy: damage to the blood vessels of the retina caused by diabetes.
- Glaucoma suspect: signs that may point to glaucoma, a condition that damages the optic nerve.
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): changes to the central part of the retina that affect sharp, central vision.
All three conditions can develop without obvious symptoms in their early stages, which is why regular screening matters.
Who should get screened?
- Adults aged 40 to 69 years
- People with a long history of diabetes
