The premise
AI can take an eye exam note and draft a tight letter to the PCP that highlights systemic findings (diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive changes, papilledema).
What AI does well here
- Translate ophthalmic findings into PCP-relevant systemic implications
- Recommend follow-up timing without prescribing systemic care
- Keep the letter to one page
What AI cannot do
- Manage the patient's diabetes or hypertension
- Order systemic workup the PCP should consider
- Substitute for the ophthalmologist's signature and sign-off
