Current Update and Perspectives in Corneal Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the development of new treatments for corneal disease has been remarkable. The introduction of lamellar surgery worldwide dramatically increased the number of corneal transplants by a reduction of intraoperative and postoperative complications and an enlargement of indication. Additionally, the corneal collagen cross-linking changes completely the approach to keratoconus patients allowing treatment in the early stage of the disease. Furthermore, the diagnostic field is quickly evolving towards new tools of imaging and increased reliability of laboratory techniques. In this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on the surgical advances and innovations of corneal surgery, the safety, efficacy, predictability and stability of results obtained with different approaches. Furthermore, we encourage reports of long-term postoperative outcomes comparing different surgical techniques. The reports concerning the use of new diagnostic instruments and innovative laboratory approaches will be also of great interest.
