Objective:

To explore the applications and limitations of large language models (LLMs) in private medical practices.

Approach:

Key Findings:

• LLMs can enhance practice efficiency and allow providers to focus more on patient care.
• The accuracy of LLM outputs depends heavily on the quality and context of the input data.
• Medically relevant statements from LLMs must be verified against trusted clinical sources.

Interpretation:

Optometrists can leverage LLMs as clinical support tools while being aware of their limitations and the need for verification.

Limitations:

• LLMs may produce incorrect or misleading information.
• They lack the nuanced understanding of a trained healthcare provider.

Conclusion:

By understanding the strengths and limitations of LLMs, optometrists can use them safely and effectively as support tools in their practices.
