Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Presbyopia, cataract, and refractive disorders continue to represent major challenges in ophthalmology, while also driving some of the most dynamic innovations in surgical vision correction. Advances in femtosecond laser technology, premium intraocular lenses, and novel corneal and phakic lens-based procedures are rapidly expanding treatment options and improving patient-centered outcomes. At the same time, research in ocular biomechanics, optical performance, and visual quality is shaping the future of individualized care.
With this Special Issue, “Presbyopia, Laser, Cataract and Refractive Surgery: State-of-the-Art Research: Second Edition”, we invite clinicians and researchers to contribute their latest findings and perspectives. Original research articles, clinical studies, systematic reviews, and state-of-the-art updates are welcome. We particularly encourage submissions addressing new surgical techniques, long-term outcomes, patient-reported quality of life, and translational approaches that bridge basic science and clinical practice.
Our goal is to create a comprehensive resource that reflects the current state of knowledge, stimulates scientific exchange, and outlines future directions in the management of presbyopia, cataract, and refractive disorders. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions and to shaping this Special Issue into a reference point for both clinical and research communities.
Dr. Ivo Guber
Guest Editor
