Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology

Dear Colleagues,

Ophthalmic diseases pose significant challenges to the medical community, as they can lead to vision impairment or even blindness if not detected and treated in a timely manner. The advent of AI has opened new horizons for ophthalmology, offering innovative solutions to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ocular disease diagnosis and management. This Special Issue will explore the exciting progress made in using AI technologies to analyze various ocular images, including meibomian gland images, fundus images, and other types of ocular imaging.

The significance of this Special Issue lies in its potential to foster collaboration between researchers, clinicians, and AI experts, leading to transformative discoveries in the early detection and treatment of eye diseases. By combining AI capabilities with cutting-edge imaging techniques, novel biomarkers, and data-driven approaches, ophthalmologists can make more informed decisions and provide personalized treatment strategies for their patients. Moreover, this Special Issue will emphasize the translation of basic research findings into clinical applications, bridging the gap between scientific advancements and real-world healthcare practices.
