Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion, remain leading causes of visual impairment worldwide. Recent advances in imaging technologies, molecular diagnostics, and artificial intelligence have opened new frontiers in early detection, disease monitoring, and personalized treatment planning.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge diagnostic strategies in the field of retinal diseases, including, but not limited to, the following: optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, fundus autofluorescence, retinal biomarkers, AI-assisted diagnostic tools, and teleophthalmology. We welcome original research articles, clinical studies, and comprehensive reviews that explore novel methodologies, validation studies, and the clinical utility of emerging diagnostic tools.
By bringing together interdisciplinary research, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of retinal pathologies and contribute to improved patient outcomes through earlier and more precise diagnoses.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Benedetto Falsini
Guest Editor
