GPT-4 and Ophthalmology Operative Notes

Operative notes are an essential piece of documentation made by an ophthalmic team following ocular or ophthalmic surgery. While the advanced language processing capabilities of GPT-4 can be utilized to enhance the comprehension of natural language in healthcare applications, the utilization of GPT-4 in writing operative notes is not explicitly referenced in the current literature. In this paper, we describe the potential applications for GPT-4 to write ophthalmic operative notes. It is imperative to acknowledge that despite the impressive capabilities exhibited by GPT-4, it remains constrained by certain limitations, and therefore, ought to be employed in tandem with human expertise and subjected to critical evaluation.
