AI Eye tests in the News – Already available at John Rose Eyecare
A recent article in The Telegraph (17 July 2025) has drawn national attention to a major leap forward in preventative healthcare: AI-powered eye tests that can detect risk factors for heart attacks and strokes – just by analysing an image of your retina. The AI system examines your retinal image to estimate your 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke. It’s based on patterns in your retinal blood vessels, which reflect the condition of your cardiovascular system. Results are categorised as either:
- No elevated risk – continue with regular care
- Elevated risk – consider follow-up with your GP for further assessment
Biological Age Report
Your biological age reflects how your body is aging on the inside. This scan uses your retinal health to estimate whether you’re aging faster or slower than expected—providing a powerful snapshot of how your lifestyle is affecting your long-term health.
This technology offers early warnings, sometimes years before symptoms appear, giving you a vital window to take preventive action.
While this may be news to some, at John Rose Eyecare we’ve been ahead of the curve.
