AI-powered retinal screening and diagnostic imaging could advance faster than expected, enabling remote or autonomous screening that bypasses the in-clinic examination for routine vision checks, compressing the examination revenue that anchors the business model and reducing patient flow through stores.

The opportunity assessment could be too conservative if AI-assisted surgical guidance or AI-enhanced clinical decision support dramatically increases optometrist and ophthalmologist throughput per day — if a clinician with AI tools can process 2-3x more patients, the cognitive bottleneck unlocks more value than the physical-constraint framing suggests.
