Abstract

Ophthalmology and mathematics: crossroad or scientific interface?

Highlights

  • Without trying to accept or argue philosophical aspects, today we experience a rapidly-growing amount of research in ophthalmology

  • The latest developments, scientific achievements and research in ophthalmology steer to the exciting new perspective based on a multidisciplinary approach

  • Can ophthalmologists think mathematically? Is it possible to provide a quantitative representation of the biophysical processes in the eye? Application of objective scientific methods and subjective perspectives can open up a wide range of educational and professional opportunities leading to a better understanding of the pathogenesis and the natural course of the disease, progression and new ways of treatment
