ArXi:2603.23953v1 Announce Type: new Vision impairment affects millions globally, and early detection is critical to preventing irreversible vision loss. Ophthalmology workflows require clinicians to integrate medical images, structured clinical data, and free-text notes to determine disease severity and management, which is time-consuming and burdensome. Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) show promise, but existing general and medical MLLMs perform poorly in ophthalmology, and few ophthalmology-specific MLLMs are openly available.
