Advances in Orbital, Oculoplastic and Lacrimal Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Contemporary orbital, oculoplastic, and lacrimal surgeries have made remarkable progress over the last two decades, thanks to the advancements in technologies and surgical procedures of increasing availability of image-guidance (navigation); endoscopic, exoscopic, and immersive 3-dimensional visualization; 3-dimensional printing; and robotics and microrobotics. Adoptively combining the precision- and technology-driven nature of ophthalmic surgeries with the multidisciplinary and minimally invasive approaches in head and neck surgeries, oculoplastic surgeons are now personalizing approaches, decreasing morbidities, and expanding indications in patients with orbital tumors, malformations, trauma, thyroid eye disease, lacrimal outflow obstruction, as well as socket and eyelid disorders.

In this Special Issue, we invite prominent investigators to contribute original research articles and review articles that focus on the current state-of-the-art orbital, oculoplastic, and lacrimal surgeries and to introduce new theories, next generation technologies, and techniques that move this exciting field forward for the benefits of patient care.
