Sora is an advanced AI model developed by Open AI that can create realistic visual scenes from text instructions, showcasing the power of modern AI in interpreting and visualizing complex narratives. The technology is based on Large Language Models and diffusion models for video generation, with potential applications in various fields including ophthalmology.

In ophthalmology, Sora could revolutionize patient education, surgical training, and visualization of complex eye conditions. The AI-generated visual simulations could enhance understanding of intricate concepts, provide accurate first-person perspectives for practitioners, improve patient care, and outcomes. Despite its potential, Sora is currently inaccessible to the public.

Sora can be used to generate step-by-step surgical technique videos from text descriptions, providing invaluable visual aids for ophthalmology trainees. Research has shown that watching operative videos significantly improves confidence in surgical trainees, demonstrating the potential benefits of AI-generated content in surgical training.

To improve patient education, Sora can help ophthalmologists communicate effectively with patients, particularly those with visual impairments or low literacy levels. Video-based education has been shown to enhance comprehension significantly, indicating the potential of AI-generated content in improving patient outcomes and treatment adherence.

Public awareness campaigns are crucial for preventing blindness and vision impairments, and Sora can help ophthalmologists create high-quality campaigns to educate the public about eye health. Enhancing eye health literacy through awareness initiatives can lead to early detection and timely management of eye conditions, reducing preventable visual impairments worldwide.

Sora can also be valuable for clinician education, illustrating symptoms and signs of rare ophthalmic diseases to improve diagnostics skills in ophthalmology residents. However, limitations such as potential inaccuracies in video production due to text misinterpretation must be considered. Future research on anatomical accuracy and accessibility improvements, such as audio descriptions for visually impaired individuals, are essential for maximizing the potential benefits of Sora in ophthalmology.
