Enhancing Patient Education with AI: A Readability Analysis of AI-Generated Versus American Academy of Ophthalmology Online Patient Education Materials

Abstract

: Properly prompted AI chatbots can generate PEMs with improved readability, nearing the level of AAO materials. However, most outputs remain above the recommended 6th-grade reading level. A subjective analysis of a representative subtopic showed that compared to AAO, there was less nuance, especially in areas of clinical uncertainty. By creating a blueprint that can be utilized in human-AI hybrid workflows, AI chatbots show promise as tools for ophthalmologists to increase the availability of accessible PEMs in ophthalmology. Future work should include a detailed qualitative review by ophthalmologists using a validated tool (like DISCERN or PEMAT) to score accuracy, bias, and completeness alongside readability.
