About the Collection

BMC Ophthalmology is calling for submissions to our Collection on the use of artificial intelligence in Ophthalmology.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into ophthalmic diagnostics and patient monitoring is crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy, optimizing patient care, and resource allocation, ultimately leading to better treatment outcomes in eye care. AI technologies have the potential to streamline processes, enhance accessibility, and drive innovation in ophthalmology, benefiting both patients and healthcare systems worldwide. This Collection brings together contributions that explore its diverse applications across various domains of ophthalmology. Topics accepted for publication include:

AI-driven algorithms for the early detection and classification of ocular diseases. Development and validation of AI-based imaging techniques for retinal analysis. Application of machine learning and deep learning methodologies for analyzing ophthalmic datasets. Real-world implementation studies and clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of AI-enabled solutions in ophthalmology practice. Innovations in teleophthalmology and remote monitoring facilitated by AI-driven telemedicine platforms.
