Emerging Technologies and Diagnostic Innovations in Optometry and Vision Science

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will showcase recent advances in the diagnostic technologies, imaging modalities, and data-driven innovations reshaping optometry and vision science. We welcome original research, reviews, clinical studies, and technology-oriented papers in areas including the following:

• Novel visual assessment tools and automated/mechanized diagnostic systems;
• Advances in ocular imaging and multimodal diagnostics;
• AI-based analysis and machine-learning decision support;
• Accommodation–vergence assessment, binocular vision evaluation, and sports vision applications;
• Visual rehabilitation, digital therapeutics, and technology-based training systems;
• VR/AR platforms, wearable sensors, digital biomarkers, and smart medical devices;
• Early detection, monitoring, and personalized management of refractive, binocular, and functional ocular disorders.

This interdisciplinary scope bridges clinical practice, instrument development, and data-driven research to advance modern eye care.

Prof. Dr. Shuan-Yu Huang
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
