IRIS: An Intelligent Vision-Language System for Ocular Surface Diseases via Topic Tree and Scene-Driven VQA Generation
While Large Vision-Language Models (VLMs) demonstrate remarkable generic capabilities, their clinical reasoning in specialized domains like ocular surface diseases (OSDs) is severely hindered by a paucity of high-fidelity, multimodal instruction-tuning data. To dismantle this data bottleneck, we introduce IRIS, an Intelligent Recognition and Interaction System tailored for fine-grained OSD understanding via external eye photography. First, we curate IRIS-120K, the largest and most comprehensive OSD visual question-answering (VQA) dataset to date. Crucially, to overcome the semantic shallowness of conventional image-caption pairs, we propose a synergistic data generation paradigm to explicitly inject clinical priors. Our data engine operates via a dual-branch framework: 1) a Topic Finding Tree (TFT) that hierarchically anchors visual features to precise anatomical and pathological concepts, enforcing rigorous medical deduction logic; and 2) a Scene-driven strategy that synthesizes role-adaptive clinical dialogues to ensure pragmatic generalization. By explicitly aligning a compact 4B-parameter VLM on this structurally enriched corpus, IRIS achieves state-of-the-art performance, comprehensively outperforming both generalist and specialized medical VLMs with up to 34B parameters. Our findings underscore that structured knowledge injection profoundly prevails over sheer parameter scaling, unlocking the potential for resource-efficient, expert-level AI deployment on mobile edge devices for scalable OSD screening. Code, datasets, and model weights will be publicly released by this repo.
