Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the cutting-edge advancements in ophthalmic optics and visual perception, highlighting the latest research on the interaction between light, vision, and optical technologies used in the correction and enhancement of human vision. Ophthalmic optics is a rapidly evolving field, encompassing the design, development, and application of optical systems for the diagnosis, treatment, and correction of visual impairments. Key topics of interest include refractive error correction, lens design, optical materials, and advanced optical instruments. In particular, the integration of digital technologies, such as wavefront sensing, adaptive optics, and personalized lens designs, has transformed the landscape of vision correction, improving both the accuracy and comfort of visual aids.
The perception of visual information is a complex and multifaceted process involving both optical and neural components. This issue aims to delve into the science of visual perception, focusing on how the brain processes visual stimuli, the mechanisms of visual adaptation, and the effects of various optical devices on visual performance. Research on topics like contrast sensitivity, depth perception, color vision, and visual acuity is crucial in understanding the relationship between optical interventions and human perception.
Moreover, this Special Issue will explore innovative technologies and treatment modalities for visual disorders, including myopia control, presbyopia management, and treatments for age-related macular degeneration. The role of optical instruments such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), visual field analyzers, and fundus cameras in diagnosing and monitoring eye conditions is another key area of focus.
By bringing together research from both the fundamental and applied aspects of ophthalmic optics and visual perception, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive overview of the current trends, challenges, and future directions in the field of vision science.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
