Review
Recent advances in artificial intelligence have provided ophthalmologists with fast, accurate, and automated means for diagnosing and treating ocular conditions, paving the way to a modern and scalable eye care system. Compared to other ophthalmic disciplines, neuro-ophthalmology has, until recently, not benefitted from significant advances in the area of artificial intelligence. In this narrative review, we summarize and discuss recent advancements utilizing artificial intelligence for the detection of structural and functional optic nerve head abnormalities, and ocular movement disorders in neuro-ophthalmology.

Review
Social media is being widely used across ophthalmology. Its communication tools have been employed more often by ophthalmologists in private practice than academia, although academic institutions may be more impactful influencers. There are opportunities to promote ophthalmic services and to augment traditional clinical care. Social media provides a medium to disseminate peer-reviewed literature in ophthalmology, and to expand conference experiences. It is used for teaching ophthalmology at medical schools and attracting medical students into ophthalmology training, and for research in ophthalmology. Important considerations when using social media include the required time commitment and the public nature of interactions. The high level of misinformation in medical social media remains a challenge for both ophthalmologists and their patients, and the ophthalmologist can play an active role in addressing the issue. This review considers the role that social media is playing in ophthalmology today, including impact on ophthalmic practice, applications in ophthalmic education and training, and patient-focused networking.

Review
It is indisputable that human activities have caused climate change and that, if left unchecked, these activities will lead to worsening of weather extremes including fire, drought, and flood with all their attendant human suffering. Reducing future climate change requires limiting cumulative emissions of CO and other greenhouse gases including methane. We have written this evidence-based perspective to highlight interventions with the largest effect to help the average ophthalmologist make the changes with the highest impact in their day-to-day lives.

Review
This article will review the best approaches to neuroimaging for specific ophthalmologic conditions and discuss characteristic radiographic findings. A review of the current literature was performed to find recommendations for the best approaches and characteristic radiographic findings for various ophthalmologic conditions. Options for imaging continue to grow with modern advances in technology, and ophthalmologists should stay current on the various radiographic techniques available to them, focusing on their strengths and weaknesses for different clinical scenarios.

Review
PURPOSE
Traditionally, ophthalmologists complete training and then choose a clinical care setting. The skills required to become an ophthalmologist can be applied to a variety of alternative career paths within and beyond healthcare. Not unexpectedly, therefore, there is a growing trend for ophthalmologists to explore alternative career paths in both healthcare and the life science industry more broadly. In this invited editorial, we summarize the more commonly considered 'alternative career paths,' and provide personal perspectives that have helped us and others when weighing such options.
RECENT FINDINGS
Prior to pursuing an alternative career path, it is important to reflect on one's motivations and goals. A number of alternative careers paths are available, and the choice of when and what to pursue is both personal and personalizable. While it can be difficult to know a priori whether and to what extent a given path will be both enjoyable and rewarding, insights and advice from those who have walked that path before you can be invaluable. We review the more common paths of administrative leadership, entrepreneurship and innovation, product development, healthcare policy, nonprofit organizations, and investing, noting that these are just examples of the many options currently available.
SUMMARY
Ophthalmologists should feel empowered to design a career that is both purposeful and personally meaningful, as this will result ultimately in the greatest happiness and fulfillment. There is a world of opportunity available to those who are willing to explore and create their own path.
