Re: Pushpanathan et al.: Can OpenAI’s New o1 Model Outperform Its Predecessors in Common Eye Care Queries?

We read with great interest the recent article by Pushpanathan et al. evaluating the performance of OpenAI’s o1 model in ophthalmology-related queries1. The study provides timely insights into the growing role of large language models (LLMs) in clinical practice. While we found the study informative, we would like to raise two points—one regarding methodological clarity and another suggesting a possible direction for future research informed by clinical observations.
