Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest technological developments have radically impacted the daily practice of ophthalmologists thanks to the advent of novel diagnostic tools that facilitate an early diagnosis and provide a better management of ocular disorders. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) have acquired key roles in developing a better understanding of the pathogenesis of several ocular conditions; moreover, they have remarkably changed the diagnostic approach to many ophthalmic and systemic diseases. This Special Issue aims to create a multidisciplinary forum of discussion about the clinical and research applications of these technologies (OCT and OCTA) in the ocular diagnosis of different subfields of ophthalmology. Innovative applications of optical coherence tomography in every ophthalmic field will be very welcome. Submissions of high-quality original research articles showing new developments and innovative findings regarding these topics are especially welcome, but we will also consider high-interest review articles and case series/case report of exceptional merit.
