Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Qais A. Dihan's research focuses on leveraging large language models (LLMs) to enhance patient education across various ophthalmological conditions. Recent work explores the use of LLMs for generating educational materials on childhood glaucoma, pediatric cataract, and dry eye disease. Dihan has also investigated the application of generative AI tools for creating ophthalmology podcasts and improving patient education for idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Their research also examines racial and ethnic differences in the association between statin use and ocular hypertension, as well as the risk of oculomotor and trochlear nerve palsies following COVID-19 vaccination. Dihan collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Paul H. Phillips, Andrew W. Brown, and Muhammad Z. Chauhan.
