Teaching Ophthalmology for Machines.

In 1996, a survey conducted in Canada found that more than half of the curricula of medical schools in that country did not have a mandatory internship in ophthalmology [2]. In the United Kingdom, the average duration of medical curriculum of ophthalmology is 7.6 days, with 21% of medical schools not having compulsory education in ophthalmology [3]. The same could be true for nursing curriculum. Therefore, the resolution of all ophthalmological problems is concentrated in about 2% of trained physicians. In some countries, there is an aggravating factor including the unequal distribution of the medical doctors within the territory [4].
