Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, in the field of eye disease management and refractive surgery, innovative technologies and approaches have been introduced to medical devices. With this, the current Special Issue will feature reports on the latest information regarding eye surgery hardware and software. Specifically, it will focus on the following topics:
- Improved vision with the introduction of multifocal intraocular lenses.
The use of multifocal intraocular lenses is becoming more common in cataract surgery. These lenses provide bifocal vision and improve visual convenience in patients' daily lives. However, they are not suitable for all patients, and individual adaptation tests and thorough consultation with doctors are important.
- Progress in minimally invasive surgical techniques.
The introduction of the latest technologies, such as femtosecond lasers and 3D imaging systems, has improved the accuracy of surgery and reduced the burden on patients. These technologies also contribute to shortening surgery times and accelerating postoperative recovery.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) in eye diseases.
AI has brought about great advances in diagnosis, treatment, and patient management in the field of ophthalmology. Its use is particularly advancing image diagnosis, the optimization of surgical plans, and the development of telemedicine; in the future it is expected to be applied to further improve accuracy and personalized medicine. However, AI is merely an auxiliary tool, and it is important to maximize its effectiveness by working together with ophthalmologists.
These technologies and approaches are improving the quality of eye care and contributing to improved visual health and quality of life for patients. We look forward to your contributions.
