Standard imaging of the retina and the optic nerve are non-invasive and are useful tools in investigating the integrity of the visual pathways. With population aging and the increasing burden of neuro-ophthalmic diseases, there is a growing need for tools that can assist clinicians in achieving rapid and reliable diagnoses. AI may facilitate the detection of specific neuro-ophthalmological conditions. Methods: This article presents a narrative review of previously published studies addressing the current applications of AI in selected neuro-ophthalmic conditions, with emphasis on their advantages, limitations, and challenges in screening, diagnosis, and disease progression assessment. Results: AI-based approaches provide valuable opportunities for the screening, characterization, and monitoring of optic nerve head abnormalities in neuro-ophthalmology. Recent advancements, particularly in deep learning and convolutional neural networks, have shown notable potential in interpreting fundus photography, optical coherence tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, supporting a comprehensive assessment of optic nerve structure and function. These systems are particularly promising because they can extract quantitative information from routine imaging modalities and may assist clinicians in detecting structural damage that is difficult to identify through conventional evaluation alone. Conclusions: AI-assisted ophthalmic imaging has shown promising diagnostic performance in identifying ONH abnormalities and retinal or optic nerve changes associated with neurological disease. At present, however, most applications remain within research, retrospective validation, or proof-of-concept settings, and evidence that AI consistently improves early diagnosis or clinical outcomes beyond conventional assessment remains limited. Accordingly, AI should currently be regarded as a complementary tool that may support screening, image interpretation, disease characterization, and referral decisions rather than replace established clinical evaluation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medsci14040422","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,23]],"date-time":"2026-07-23T09:11:26Z","timestamp":1784797886000},"page":"422","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Current Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Neuro-Ophthalmic Imaging: A Narrative Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Raluca Eugenia","family":"Iorga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Grigore T.
