Ophthalmology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
An ophthalmology lab that studies the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases through AI and clinical research.
AboutAbout the lab
Cutting-edge medicine for the greatest possible joy of sight
The Ophthalmology lab is the ophthalmology group at University of Tsukuba Hospital, conducting research from basic science to clinical practice on the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases.
It handles a wide range of conditions that are difficult to diagnose or treat, offering everything from drug therapy to surgery.
Its research topics include artificial intelligence using clinical eye data, ophthalmic optical instruments, intraocular lenses, and myopia progression control.
On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Tsukuba University Ophthalmology."
Key terms
- Anterior segment
- The front part of the eye, including the cornea
- Vitreous body
- A transparent, jelly-like tissue that fills the eyeball

The Ophthalmology lab conducts numerous studies, both basic and clinical. It explains that although the eye is a small organ, it is affected by a great many diseases, and that many surgical procedures are still not established.
*Illustrative imageAI research using ophthalmic data
The lab conducts research on artificial intelligence (AI) using clinical eye data. In collaboration with the Japanese Cornea Society and others, it is developing a program that suggests candidate diagnoses from photographs of the anterior segment of the eye, and has reported that it could be turned into a smartphone app.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping drug delivery inside the eye
Most glaucoma patients are treated with eye drops, but following the prescribed dosing schedule is difficult in practice. The lab conducts research on developing a platform that releases drugs slowly inside the eye (sustained release).
*Illustrative imageNew treatments for retinal detachment and floaters
Surgery is the only treatment for retinal detachment. The research group is working to develop new treatments for retinal detachment and floaters by controlling the physical properties of the vitreous through injection.
*Illustrative imageResearch on imaging the anterior segment with polarized light
The lab has long been involved in developing next-generation optical coherence tomography. It is now conducting research using polarization-sensitive anterior segment optical coherence tomography.
