Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in applied ophthalmology have been propelled by rapid developments in emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, advanced imaging modalities, biomedical engineering and data-driven diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. These innovations are reshaping the detection, monitoring and treatment of ocular diseases, enabling more precise diagnostics, automated screening, personalized therapies and enhanced clinical decision-making.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge progress in technological and engineering applications in ophthalmology. Emphasis is placed on innovative diagnostic tools, advanced imaging techniques, intelligent systems and novel therapeutic solutions. Submissions that integrate artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, biomedical devices and quantitative analytical methods into ophthalmic research and clinical practice are especially encouraged.
We welcome both original research articles and comprehensive reviews that highlight interdisciplinary approaches and emerging technologies in applied ophthalmology. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers and clinicians to present novel developments and practical solutions that facilitate the translation of innovative technologies into real-world clinical settings.
Dr. Zhihong (Jewel) Hu
