Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Retinal imaging is essential for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment decisions of retinal diseases. Currently, there are a number of imaging modalities available, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, autofluorescence, widefield color fundus/fluorescein/indocyanine green imaging or adaptive optics-assisted imaging (OCT, scanning laser ophthalmoscope). These cutting-edge technologies allow the visualization of a wide range of different aspects of the retina from a scale where individual cells are visible up to the depiction of a large field of views covering retinal areas even in the far periphery. Some of these novel imaging systems still require clinical validation to prove their applicability in routine clinical practice, particularly with new treatment modalities on the horizon. The ultimate goal of these imaging advancements is to positively support the clinician’s approach for diagnosing and treating various vitreoretinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal vessel occlusions, retinal detachment, uveitis, retinal dystrophies and others.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent advancements in any aspects of retinal imaging in the form of original contributions and reviews.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
