Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in anterior segment (AS) imaging represents a transformative approach to glaucoma diagnosis and management. This article explores various AS imaging techniques, such as AS optical coherence tomography, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and goniophotography, highlighting their roles in identifying angle-closure diseases. The review focuses on advancements in AI, including machine learning and deep learning, which enhance image analysis and automate complex processes in glaucoma care, and provides current evidence on the performance and clinical applications of these technologies. In addition, the article discusses the integration of big data, detailing its potential to revolutionize medical imaging by enabling comprehensive data analysis, fostering enhanced clinical decision-making, and facilitating personalized treatment strategies. In this article, we address the challenges of standardizing and integrating diverse data sets and suggest that future collaborations and technological advancements could substantially improve the management and research of glaucoma. This synthesis of current evidence and new technologies emphasizes their clinical relevance, offering insights into their potential to change traditional approaches to glaucoma evaluation and care.
