Core Tip	Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of oculoplasty, extending its impact beyond retinal and corneal imaging into eyelid, orbital, lacrimal, and reconstructive surgery. AI-driven systems now automate periocular measurements, detect and classify orbital tumors, assist in dacryocystorhinostomy planning, and predict postoperative aesthetic outcomes, enabling greater precision, consistency, and efficiency. However, clinical adoption remains limited by small, heterogeneous datasets, imaging variability, and ethical or regulatory challenges. Continued collaboration between clinicians, data scientists, and engineers is essential to develop validated, transparent, and user-friendly tools. As multimodal AI platforms, robotic-assisted surgery, and tele-oculoplasty advance, they promise to usher in a new era of personalized, data-driven oculoplastic care – seamlessly combining surgical expertise with intelligent technology to enhance both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
