Fig. 1. Use of data and advanced analytics to improve outcomes.
Over the next decade, large multidimensional data sets, together with advanced deep learning algorithms, will facilitate the optimal treatment of patients. In addition, prophylaxis of high-risk eyes may prevent vision loss before any occurs. NNT indicates number of patients that need to receive treatment in order for one patient (on average) to derive benefit; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
