Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will present recent advances in the understanding and treatment of ocular surface diseases. It will feature original research, experimental studies, and comprehensive reviews that explore the underlying mechanisms of anterior eye conditions. Key pathological processes such as inflammation, oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, and neovascularization will be highlighted as critical contributors to disease progression and potential therapeutic targets. Despite these advances, the molecular complexity of many ocular surface disorders remains poorly understood, especially in multifactorial cases, posing significant challenges for the development of effective treatments and clinical management.
