Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid development of new diagnostic technology has enabled the more precise and reproducible assessment of changes in anterior segment structures, such as the cornea, conjunctiva, sclera, anterior chamber, and lens. The application of these technologies has become essential to better diagnosis in anterior segment disorders. The use of novel imaging devices has also contributed to the improvement of outcomes in cornea, cataract, and refractive surgery. Therefore, the introduction of new methods and devices could provide improved treatment outcomes, as well as enhanced diagnostic accuracy, in anterior segment disorders. The development of more reliable diagnostic criteria for anterior segment diseases, e.g., dry eye disease, could allow more accurate diagnosis, which may result in better monitoring and treatment in these diseases.
For this Special Issue, we welcome research or review papers addressing the diagnosis of anterior segment disorder. We also invite papers on devices or methods for the assessment or visualization of these disorders.

Guest Editor
