This article collection will focus on the transformative potential of real-world data in Ophthalmology in general, and Retina care in particular. It will address the challenges of extracting, managing, and harmonizing data from multi-center collaborations, while exploring solutions for data transfer and sharing. Key topics will include the role of AI in cleaning and analyzing complex datasets, federated learning as an innovative approach to collaboration without compromising patient privacy, and the use of advanced analytics to extract meaningful clinical insights from noisy, real-world data. The collection also aims to address issues related to interoperability, regulatory compliance, and bias in real-world multi-center data.

Through these contributions, the collection aims to provide a comprehensive overview of how data-driven innovations could reshape ophthalmic care and improve outcomes in clinical practice.
