Description
Mathematical Ophthalmology concerns the use of mechanistic mathematical models (e.g., ODE/PDE 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 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. It is an exciting time in Mathematical and Computational Ophthalmology (MaCO). Though a relatively small field, we are reaching a tipping point as the importance of quantitative tools in ophthalmology becomes more widely recognised and the number of those working in the field reaches a critical mass. In this minisymposium we will showcase research in MaCO to the broader Mathematical Biology community, while building and strengthening connections and collaborations within the MaCO community.
