Most artificial intelligence models for eye cancer are still prototypes, not ready for clinics.

A Scoping Review of Artificial Intelligence in Ocular Oncology.

Purpose

To provide a comprehensive literature review of original work on artificial intelligence in ocular oncology.

Methods

Scoping review of PubMed-indexed original articles ( n = 94) on the use of artificial intelligence in ocular oncology, retrieved during the month of February 2026 and independently screened by two ocular oncologists.

n = 94
63%
Results
63%
most artificial intelligence eye-cancer models are only early prototypes, not ready for real clinics
n = 94
More results

Most literature ( n = 32, 34%) on artificial intelligence in ocular oncology originates from China.

Datasets comprised images in 78% ( n = 73) of the studies, clinical parameters in 14% ( n = 13), and omics data in 12% ( n = 11).

More results

Most studies worked on developing artificial intelligence models ( n = 83, 88%), of which two reached a deployment stage.

Few studies evaluated or incorporated pre-existing models ( n = 11, 12%).

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

Despite the limitation of a single database search, a surge in artificial intelligence applications in ocular oncology after 2020 is evident.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Most studies are in the model development stage, and few have been deployed in the real world for clinical implementation. Very few models have proven effective in real-world clinics and the community, holding promise for the future.
