AI eye test: ChatGPT, GPT-5, and DeepSeek battle to read cataract scans
NCT ID NCT07183891
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests three AI chatbots—ChatGPT 4o, GPT-5, and DeepSeek—on their ability to read eye scans from 100 cataract patients. The AI will try to extract key measurements, recommend the right lens implant, and predict vision after surgery. No treatment is given; the goal is to see how well AI can help doctors plan cataract surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI can reliably read eye scans and help doctors plan cataract surgery, potentially saving time and reducing errors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study with only 100 participants. AI may not perform as well in real-world settings or with different types of eye scans.
