Uncertain Diagnostic Accuracy of Self-Monitoring Vision at Home —Reply
In Reply We thank the authors for their letter regarding the appropriate use of diagnostic accuracy nomenclature as it applied to the investigation by Korot et al. It is beyond the scope of this reply to comment on any comparisons or extrapolations on the methodology of the currently unpublished MONARCH study. (Source: JAMA Ophthalmology)

Uncertain Diagnostic Accuracy of Self-Monitoring Vision at Home
To the Editor We recently reviewed the article by Korot et al, which reported on enablers and barriers when deploying the My Vision Track vision home-monitoring application (MVT) to patients monitored for anti –vascular endothelial growth factor treatment. We noted that the authors reported sensitivity and specificity estimates for the application of 84.6% and 88.5%, respectively. Although not the focus of the original article, this letter addresses these estimates. (Source: JAMA Ophthalmology)

Error in Abstract and Figure 5 Caption
In the Original Investigation titled “Green Space Morphology and School Myopia in China,” published online January 4, 2024, there was an error in the 95% CI and P value for the myopia-related green space morphology index. The text was updated to “95% CI, −2.7 to −0.6” and “P = .002” in the Abstract and Figure 5 capt ion. Additionally, the upper band of the 95% CI for Figure 5, panel B, was updated to “−2.72.” The article was corrected online. (Source: JAMA Ophthalmology)

Factors Beyond Carbon Footprint of Live vs Virtual Eye Meetings
To the Editor I read with interest the assessment of the environmental impact of the face-to-face (FTF) vs virtual annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) by McClintic and Stashevsky. Measuring and understanding our individual carbon footprints is imperative to begin the journey to carbon neutral by the second half of this century, as highlighted in the Paris Agreement from the UN Climate Change Conference in 2015. However, I believe that to develop a true understanding of the benefits, or otherwise, of FTF vs virtual meetings, then a full comparative analysis of the 2 meeting types should be consider...

Toward Eliminating Visual Impairment Due to Refractive Error
For proponents of public health, the US health care system can cause substantial consternation whenever gaps due to the fragmented nature of the system are revealed. This frustration becomes even more magnified when the solution to fixing the uncovered issue would be relatively inexpensive and offer significant health and quality of life benefits. In this issue of JAMA Ophthalmology, Dhablania and colleagues analyze the unmet refractive needs within the African American Eye Disease Study, a population-based study covering 6347 African American adults 40 years and older in Inglewood, California. Two of the primary outcomes ...

Large Language Models and the Shoreline of Ophthalmology
Huang et al demonstrate that the large language model (LLM) Generative Pretrained Transformer 4 (GPT-4 [OpenAI]), launched March 14, 2023, is capable of synthesizing knowledge in glaucoma and retina by providing assessments and plans in response to real-world clinical vignettes. In this task, GPT-4 (henceforth version 4) was equally or more accurate and complete than a panel of fellowship-trained glaucoma and retina specialists. LLMs have advanced tremendously in a short period of time: GPT-3.5 was found to have significant inaccuracies when presented with commonly asked retina questions, but version 4 was substantially mo...
