A transfer learning-assisted glaucoma detection system was build first with training images from the fundus images database of Taipei Veterans General Hospital,then fine-tuned to improve its applicability on fundus images from different datasets. This system aims to assist clinic-based glaucoma screening to increase the diagnostic rate of glaucoma by using existing healthcare facility.

Current mainstream pharmacotherapy of glaucoma is the delivery of intraocular pressure-lowering medication via topical instillation. But, this dosage form has practical limitations due to well-known ocular barriers to drug transport. For the first time, highly efficient compound eye drop formulation is designed based on the idea of innovative glutathione-functionalized gelling materials. Our biomaterials-based ophthalmic drops can better improve drug bioavailabilityantiglaucoma efficacy than currently marketed eye drops, thereby showing future clinical translational potential.

The novel drug-eluting contact lens is a great substitute for traditional eye drops, which are plagued by problems, such as low drug administration efficiency, discomfort,repeated dosing. Drugs can stay on the eyeball for a sufficient period of time. Patients can have access to treatment in an appropriate state at any time. With these advantages, the novel drug-eluting contact lens is expected to become a new method for the treatment of ophthalmic diseasesfor the recovery of patients after ophthalmic surgery. It has broad application prospects in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases.
