Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Bioengineering Strategies for Ophthalmic Diseases" explores the latest advancements, trends, and innovations in the field of ophthalmology. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent developments in diagnostic tools, therapeutic approaches, and techniques for various ophthalmic diseases.
This Special Issue begins by discussing the recent progress in the diagnosis of ophthalmic diseases, including advancements in imaging technology, genetic testing, and biomarker identification. It explores novel diagnostic approaches that enable earlier detection and more accurate assessment of disease progression.
This Special Issue highlights the latest therapeutic approaches for ophthalmic diseases, ranging from traditional pharmacotherapy to emerging modalities such as gene therapy, bioengineered corneal implants, retinal prostheses, and sustained-release drug delivery systems. It emphasizes the development of targeted therapies and personalized treatment strategies based on specific disease subtypes.
It also addresses the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in ophthalmology, including AI-based algorithms for disease classification, automated image analysis, and predictive modeling.
Overall, this Special Issue aims to provide insights into the recent advances and trends in ophthalmic disease treatment and future directions in bioengineered therapies for ophthalmic diseases.

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.
