Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and remains a significant public health concern due to its silent progression and often late diagnosis. As its prevalence increases globally, particularly in aging populations, there is an urgent need for improved detection, evaluation, and management strategies.
The purpose could aim to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of advances in the early detection, clinical evaluation, and therapeutic management of glaucoma. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of glaucomatous disease, there is a pressing need for continual innovation in diagnostic strategies, risk assessment, and individualized treatment approaches. This Special Issue aims to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange among ophthalmologists, clinicians, and researchers, with the overarching goal of enhancing both the scientific understanding and clinical management of glaucoma to improve patient care and outcomes.
We encourage the submission of original research articles and review papers that contribute to this evolving and vital field.
