Abstract
Background
Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of preventable childhood blindness; yet, a global shortage of experienced pediatric ophthalmologists impedes timely diagnosis and treatment. While emerging AI chatbots are promising clinical decision-support tools in some ophthalmic diseases, their performance in ROP diagnosis and providing treatment suggestions remains uncertain.
Objective
This study aimed to compare the performance of Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro and OpenAI's ChatGPT o4-mini in ROP diagnosis and providing treatment suggestions against the gold standard of clinical consensus.
