    This study explores the application of machine learning in intelligent systems by integrating knowledge graphs with contrastive learning, supplemented by "clinical profile" prompts, to fine-tune the ophthalmology-specific large model, MeEYE, built on the CHATGLM3-6B architecture. This approach significantly advances AI-driven ophthalmic diagnostic technology, enhancing both the accuracy and interpretability of diagnostic predictions.By incorporating domain-specific knowledge and utilizing contrastive learning, the model effectively captures clinically relevant features, providing transparent and reliable AI recommendations in clinical settings. This method addresses the critical need for explainable AI in medical diagnosis, offering clinicians clear, trustworthy insights that have the potential to improve patient outcomes. Rigorous evaluations and case studies validate the method's superior performance, emphasizing its potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy and optimize clinical decision-making across various healthcare applications. The findings underscore the importance of combining domain-specific knowledge with machine learning techniques to solve complex medical challenges in intelligent systems.
