Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a revolutionary influence in the field of ophthalmology, providing unparalleled capabilities in data analysis and pattern recognition. This narrative review delves into the crucial role that AI plays, particularly in the context of anterior segment diseases with a genetic basis. Corneal dystrophies (CDs) exhibit significant genetic diversity, manifested by irregular substance deposition in the cornea. AI-driven diagnostic tools exhibit promising accuracy in the identification and classification of corneal diseases. Importantly, chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT)-4.0 shows significant advancement over its predecessor, ChatGPT-3.5. In the realm of glaucoma, AI significantly contributes to precise diagnostics through inventive algorithms and machine learning models, surpassing conventional methods. The incorporation of AI in predicting glaucoma progression and its role in augmenting diagnostic efficiency is readily apparent. Additionally, AI-powered models prove beneficial for early identification and risk assessment in cases of congenital cataracts, characterized by diverse inheritance patterns. Machine learning models achieving exceptional discrimination in identifying congenital cataracts underscore AI's remarkable potential. The review concludes by emphasizing the promising implications of AI in managing anterior segment diseases, spanning from early detection to the tailoring of personalized treatment strategies. These advancements signal a paradigm shift in ophthalmic care, offering optimism for enhanced patient outcomes and more streamlined healthcare delivery.
