Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to present "Clinical Advances in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension", a Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine aimed at consolidating the latest scientific evidence for the effective management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
Glaucoma remains the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, and its prevalence is projected to increase in the coming years. As glaucomatous optic neuropathy is irreversible, early diagnosis and effective strategies to slow the progression of retinal ganglion cell damage are critical for preserving patients' vision and quality of life.
Recent years have witnessed remarkable advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. New imaging techniques have emerged to improve diagnostic accuracy, while innovative therapies, including novel IOP-lowering agents, drug delivery systems, neuroprotective strategies, and surgical approaches such as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), have been introduced. Furthermore, there is growing interest in the role of artificial intelligence in the management of glaucoma.
This Special Issue encompasses a broad range of topics and research methodologies aimed at establishing the most robust scientific evidence for managing glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients. Areas of focus include advancements in diagnostic tools, identification of risk factors, pharmacological and surgical treatments, MIGS, and the integration of artificial intelligence in glaucoma care. We welcome submissions across all levels of evidence, from original articles to systematic reviews. Contributions from diverse regions around the world are encouraged, and we eagerly look forward to receiving your valuable research.
