Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, significant attention has been given to the role of inflammation in ocular pathologies.
Inflammation constitutes a fundamental mechanism not only in ocular infections and uveitis but also in numerous other ocular conditions, ranging from ocular surface alterations to retinal diseases, where low-grade chronic inflammation plays a decisive part.
Delving into the role of inflammation in all ocular pathologies is of paramount importance as it allows us to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms of such pathologies, enabling us to improve their therapeutic management.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to gather research that delves into the theme of inflammation in ocular diseases, with a particular focus on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapeutic management.
Dr. Francesco Petrillo
