Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vision plays a fundamental role in our daily lives, from mundane tasks to precise activities. Therefore, protecting eye health is crucial to maintaining a good quality of life. Optometry emerges as an indispensable ally in this task. This area of health sciences is dedicated to preserving visual health and correcting refractive errors through comprehensive eye examinations. It applies the necessary techniques for detecting, following up, and rehabilitating visual health anomalies and manages the prevention of eye diseases.
It is currently an open research field for development. At the same time, it should be studied alongside other areas such as ophthalmology, pediatrics, psychology, education, physical activity, and computer science, including artificial intelligence (AI).
AI is revolutionizing the eye and vision health landscape, offering innovative solutions to improve diagnostic accuracy, personalized treatments, and efficiency of patient care.
This Special Issue aims to explore the ever-evolving landscape of eye health, highlighting new clinical approaches, technological advances, and their integration with artificial intelligence (AI). It is intended to provide insight into novel techniques in clinical practice, experimental, analysis, detection, anomaly tracking, treatment and visual rehabilitation, instrumentation for diagnosis and improvement of visual quality, and the ethical and social impact of AI in the eye area. In addition, it can be a platform to foster collaboration between the scientific community and industry and to foster the development of innovative AI-based solutions to improve the visual health of the population.
We invite the submission of original and review articles that address the latest advances in eye health, with a particular emphasis on the role of AI as a transformative tool in this field.
