Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Researchers, scientists, and eye care professionals are invited to submit their latest work for publication in our upcoming Issue on Ocular Surface Disease: Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Management.
Ocular surface health plays a critical role in maintaining normal vision and may be affected by several disease processes, often requiring a multifaceted treatment approach. Ocular surface diseases, such as dry eye disease, have been the focus of extensive research in recent years, leading to significant advances in our understanding. The objective of this Special Issue is to summarize the latest research covering the risk factors, prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of ocular surface diseases.
We welcome original articles as well as reviews providing fresh insights into the risk factors, development, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders. We look forward to receiving your valuable contribution to this Special Issue.
Many thanks, and I look forward to working with you.
Dr. Sandeep K. Dhallu
