Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the third edition of the previous releases, "Ophthalmic Engineering” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/bioengineering/special_issues/Ophthalmic_Engineering) and “Ophthalmic Engineering (2nd Edition)" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/bioengineering/special_issues/0078L520K4)
The majority of people rely on their eyes to perceive and make sense of the world. However, the eye and the visual system are vulnerable to diseases and disorders at every stage of life. At present, at least 2.2 billion people around the world have a vision impairment, according to the World Report on Vision by the WHO.
Recent advances in bioengineering are conveying exciting changes to the field of ophthalmology and visual science. Engineering methods such as biomechanics, novel imaging modalities, tissue engineering, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence have exhibited great success with regard to diagnosing, treating, and understanding the mechanisms of various eye diseases.
In this Special Issue, we will focus on the vast range of potential bioengineering methods to be applied and their applications in ophthalmology and visual science. Both original research contributions and review papers are welcome. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Ocular biomechanics;
- Ophthalmic imaging;
- Artificial intelligence in ophthalmology;
- Virtual reality;
- Biomolecular, cellular, and tissue engineering in ophthalmology;
- Novel diagnostic and treatment methods in ophthalmology;
- Material characterization of ocular tissue.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
