The Prevention Liability: The Hidden Balance Sheet of Delayed Care
Prevention liability is the hidden clinical, financial and societal burden created when manageable risk remains unresolved until recovery narrows or is lost. A board-level framework for governing time-sensitive prevention across the life course.
Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Global Health-Systems Framework for Preventing Childhood Blindness through Neonatal Safety, Screening Governance, and Lifelong Vision Protection
This flagship article presents a global health-systems framework for preventing blindness from retinopathy of prematurity by strengthening neonatal safety, screening governance, timely treatment activation, accountability, and lifelong vision protection across diverse healthcare settings.
Amblyopia as a Preventable Public Health Failure: Childhood Vision Screening, AI-Enabled Pathways, and the Future of Preventive Eye Care
Amblyopia is reframed as a preventable childhood vision pathway failure when screening is not connected to diagnosis, spectacle access, treatment support, family activation, follow-up, and protected functional vision. This flagship reference article explores childhood vision screening, AI-enabled pathways, and preventive eye care through a public-health and health-system framework.
AI in Diabetic Retinopathy Screening: The Breakthrough Is the Care Pathway, Not Just the Algorithm
This article explains why AI in diabetic retinopathy screening should be judged by its ability to improve the full care pathway, not only by algorithm accuracy. It highlights how AI-assisted screening can support referral uptake, faster communication, coordinated follow-up, and safer screening-to-treatment pathways for people with diabetes. The article positions diabetic retinopathy AI as a health-system redesign tool for ophthalmology, diabetes care, public health, and digital health governance.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Population Ageing, Health-System Impact, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Sustainable Vision Care
