Advances in Optometry and Vision: Diagnosis and Management
This special issue belongs to the section "Biomedical Optics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optometry and vision science continue to evolve rapidly, driven by innovations in diagnostic technologies, therapeutic strategies, and a deeper understanding of ocular health and disease. From anterior segment disorders to refractive and accommodative challenges, the field faces ongoing clinical demands—including the management of dry eye, corneal conditions, myopia progression, presbyopia, and ocular surface disease. Despite meaningful progress, issues such as patient adherence, treatment efficacy, and long-term visual outcomes remain areas of active concern. Continued research is essential to refine clinical decision-making, improve diagnostic accuracy, and enhance patient-centered care.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in optometric and vision research, covering both basic and translational science that advances the diagnosis, management, and prevention of visual and ocular disorders. We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical studies that address current challenges and emerging solutions in the field.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
