Artificial intelligence is an essential driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution as well as industrial transformation. Ophthalmic researchers in China first established the artificial intelligence platform for congenital cataract disease. The standard test set of diabetic retinopathy in China is still blank. Establishing high-quality standard test sets of diabetic retinopathy，promoting and sharing such techniques are the necessary moves for the healthy development of ophthalmic artificial intelligence technology in China. For the first time，the robot assisted the retinal surgery experiment，and the ophthalmic robot completed the clinical trial of ophthalmic surgery. The results showed greater precession，accuracy and stability beyond human abilities. Looking into the future，we have reasons to believe that the development of artificial intelligence will promote in a wilder expansion of China’s public health and medicine into an unprecedented level. We believe that artificial intelligence will soon bring a major revolution in medicine practice，this will facilitate us to understand our people’s health in all time and in all respects.
