Eye and Vision Health: Ocular Surgery, Diseases and Eyesight

Dear Colleagues,

Ocular diseases are becoming more and more prevalent with time, as the predicted cases of conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma are expected to nearly double in the next 20 years. Not only in the retina, but also the anterior segment, cases of corneal disease and damage are exceedingly common, and many surgeries target the cornea and the aqueous humor outflow structures for the treatment of both corneal and retinal disease. In addition to surgeries, novel pharmaceutical treatments and gene therapies are being developed and investigated for the treatment of many ocular diseases. It is these diseases, outcomes, and treatments that we wish to highlight in the Special Issue “Eye and Vision Health: Ocular Surgery, Diseases and Eyesight.”

This Special Issue will focus on ocular pathologies, including their etiologies and pathogeneses, how eyesight is affected in these conditions, and current and future methods of surgical, pharmaceutical, or genetic therapeutic intervention in the treatment of ocular disease.
