Mathematical & Computational Ophthalmology

The aim of this seminar series is to showcase research in Mathematical and Computational Ophthalmology to the broader ophthalmological, vision science, medical, mathematical and computational communities, raising awareness of the exciting research being conducted in the field and encouraging future work in this area.

Mathematical Ophthalmology (a term coined by Dr Paul A Roberts) concerns the use of mechanistic mathematical models to derive insight into the mechanisms underpinning the structure and function of the eye in health, development and disease and to predict the effects of existing and putative treatments. Computational Ophthalmology (an existing term) involves the application of advanced computational techniques, including artificial intelligence, to the big data being generated in ophthalmology, to identify pathology and predict disease progression.
