“…First, by giving real-time audio cues, it improves their autonomy by helping them to read printed information, recognize objects, and identify faces. 7 This, to a very large extent, reduces their dependency on others for their routine activities and empower them to play significant role in the society.…”

I am writing to highlight the pressing issues in the management of congenital or acquired visually impaired patients, and to accentuate the dire need for an alternative approach and attitude towards their rehabilitation in Pakistan. To lessen the socio-emotional impacts and dependency of patients who are blind or visually impaired, as well as to improve their quality of life, ophthalmologists must pay close attention to the inadequate use of AI visual assistance systems and contemporary technology.1

Digital health is wielding a growing influence across all areas of healthcare, encompassing various facets such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), and electronic healthcare records. In Ophthalmology, digital health innovations can be broadly divided into four categories: (i) self-monitoring home devices and apps, (ii) virtual and augmented reality visual aids, (iii) AI software, and (iv) wearables. Wearable devices can work in the background, collecting large amounts of objective data while we do our day-to-day activities, which may be ecologically more valid and meaningful to patients than that acquired in traditional hospital settings. They can be a watch, wristband, piece of clothing, glasses, cane, smartphone in our pocket, earphones, or any other device with a sensor that we carry with us. Focusing on retinal diseases, a key challenge in developing novel therapeutics has been to prove a meaningful benefit in patients’ lives and the creation of objective patient-centred endpoints in clinical trials. In this review, we will discuss wearable devices collecting different aspects of visual behaviour, visual field, central vision, and functional vision, as well as their potential implementation as outcome measures in research/clinical trial settings. The healthcare landscape is facing a paradigm shift. Clinicians have a key role of collaborating with the development and fine-tuning of digital health innovations, as well as identifying opportunities where they can be leveraged to enhance our understanding of retinal diseases and improve patient outcomes.
