At no other time has ophthalmology been changing at a more dizzying pace, led by breakthroughs in the treatment and diagnosis of debilitating diseases and the way we deliver our services to patients and the community. In this issue of Precision + Innovation: Defining the Future of Ophthalmology, we demonstrate how New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai (NYEE) is breaking new ground in the key areas of technology and training.

From deploying the vast potential of artificial intelligence to predict the onset of glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration, to maximizing learning opportunities for ophthalmology trainees through a joint internship program, NYEE has remained committed not just to keeping up with change in our field, but working tirelessly to lead it.
