Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the release of the second volume of the Special Issue titled “Multifactorial Causation and Therapies of Myopia”. On this occasion, we would also like to invite you to visit our website to access the first volume of this Special Issue, available at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/VUTU61AW2J.
The prevalence of myopia continues to increase, aligning with the forecasts set out years ago. According to these data, we are facing a pandemic with enormous clinical and research interest, since its comorbidities have a negative impact on public health and its financing.
This Special Issue aims to review the current situation and future prospects for myopia, from its causes to its current management and possible control.
The topics of interest include the following:
- The epidemiology of myopia;
- Theories about myopia, the role of accommodation, the retina, the choroid, and the sclera;
- Myopia and genetics;
- Premyopia, simple myopia, and pathological myopia;
- The prevention of atropine, sunlight, and myopia progression risk;
- Efficacy, predictability, and safety in short-, medium-, and long-term pharmacological and optical treatments (ophthalmic lenses, orthokeratology, and soft contact lenses) and rebound effects, application protocols, and predictors of success;
- Light and myopia (blue light and red light in myopia control), as well as other treatments used for simple and pathological myopia;
- New and emerging myopia management strategies;
- Binocular vision (phorias, AC/A, accommodative LAG, etc.) and ocular optics (axial length, anterior and vitreous chamber, high-order aberrations, etc.) in myopia;
- Artificial intelligence applied to myopia.
