Each participant was analysed by three AI chatbots and an ophthalmology resident using standardised prompts. The main outcome measures included diagnosis agreement, treatment suggestion and visual prognosis. Global Quality Score (GQS, 1\u20135) was assessed to evaluate response quality.

Visual prognosis agreement was 66.7% for ChatGPT o4-mini, 48.1% for Gemini 2.5 flash, 40.7% for DeepSeek-R1 and 37.0% for resident. ChatGPT o4-mini significantly outperformed DeepSeek-R1 (p=0.011) and the resident (p=0.006).
