Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Qais A. Dihan's research focuses on leveraging artificial intelligence, particularly large language models, to enhance patient education across various ophthalmological conditions. Recent publications demonstrate the application of these technologies in generating educational materials for childhood glaucoma, pediatric cataract, dry eye disease, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Dihan has also explored the use of generative AI for creating ophthalmology podcasts and evaluating text-to-image generation in pediatric ophthalmology.

Further research interests include investigating racial and ethnic differences in the association between statin use and ocular hypertension/open-angle glaucoma, as well as analyzing the link between diabetes mellitus and uveitis using real-world data. Dihan's scholarly work is supported by collaborations with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Paul H. Phillips and Andrew W. Brown. Metrics indicate a scholarly output with an h-index of 6 and 176 total citations across 31 publications.
