  "abstract": "Background: Thyroid eye disease (TED), together with its acute and vision-threatening complication, dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON), requires timely diagnosis and intervention. The limited availability of specialists in orbital diseases poses a significant challenge to ophthalmology residency training. In this context, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has created new opportunities for medical education, though its effectiveness in ophthalmology training remains to be explored.\n\nObjective: This exploratory study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology education, focusing on TED domains.\n\nMethods: The 46 residents (28 general residents and 18 ophthalmology residents) were randomly assigned to either an AI-assisted or a teacher-made 5-min teaching video on TED. All participants then completed three tests through online questionnaire experiments, each consisting of 20-item clinical questions about TED. Test 1 served as a baseline assessment of disease knowledge, Test 2 was conducted 5 min after learning to evaluate short-term learning outcomes, along with a questionnaire survey about AI tools, and Test 3 was administered 1 week later to assess long-term learning outcome.\n\nResults: Viewing the AI-assisted video significantly improved test scores from baseline to 5 min (mean difference = 13.04; p = 0.004), but the improvement was not sustained at 1 week (mean difference = 7.61; p = 0.16). Completion time also decreased significantly from baseline to both 5 min (p = 0.009; GMR = 0.57) and 1 week (p < 0.001; GMR = 0.45). No significant differences were observed between the AI-assisted and teacher-made video groups across all assessments (all p > 0.05). Additionally, learning experience was positively correlated with learning outcome (r = 0.60; P < 0.001).\n\nConclusion: Our findings suggested that the AI-assisted and teacher-made videos for TED education showed no statistically significant difference. However, substantial expert oversight was required, and the AI-assisted workflow did not reduce total production time in this study. Given the limited long-term retention, such AI-assisted videos may be better positioned as supplementary resources combined with human expertise.",
