眼科信息学的发展概述

信息技术的崛起并向各学科领域渗透是当今科学发展的一大趋势。眼科学与信息学交叉结合,诞生了眼科信息学。眼科信息学是以计算机为主要工具,借助眼科知识,开发和评估各种有关获取、处理及解释患者数据的方法和系统,将成为促进传统眼科学深入发展的新手段。为了让更多的眼科工作者了解眼科信息学知识并运用到实际工作中,笔者对眼科信息学的定义、原理、研究内容和方法进行了全面综述,同时列举了部分国内近年开展眼科信息学相关研究的实例,提出了眼科信息学研究内容的基本框架。（中华眼科杂志,2006,42：476-480）

Review of the development of ophthalmic informatics

Digitized information technology, which is rising and permeating into other scientific domains, is a major trend of contemporary science development. The overlap between ophthalmology and informatics creates ophthalmic informatics, a new and developing discipline. Ophthalmic informatics utilizes the computer as the primary tool and with the aid of ophthalmic knowledge, develops a system to analyze patient data and evaluates the accuracy of the system. It also provides a new method for the development of traditional ophthalmology. In order to let more ophthalmologist to handle the knowledge of ophthalmic informatics and to use it in the practice, this article carries a comprehensive review of ophthalmic informatics, with emphasis on the principle, content and method of ophthalmic informatics. Some relevant studies on ophthalmic informatics in China in recent years are enumerated, as well as the basic frame for studying ophthalmic informatics.
