Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
overall improvements in sciences and technology involve obviously medicine and ophthalmology too. During last years we have witnessed the spread of new drugs, devices and surgical techniques to improve the level of eye care we are able to provide to our patients. Particularly, glaucoma specialists have many more options to treat the different forms of this disease, both medical, laser and surgical ones, but every tool recently introduced needs to be accurately evaluated to establish how to better use it. Cataract and refractive surgery are two topics always closer and it is easy to imagine they will be even more in the next future, aiming to provide the best possible vision to everyone. Accurate treatments rely on accurate and earlier diagnostic, thus it would be extremely important to have devices and strategies allowing physicians to detect diseases earlier and with much more precision in the measurements.
In this special issue we discuss the advances now available in the Glaucoma, Cataracts, and Refractive Surgery fields, and which ones would be the next improvements in the eyecare of these patients.
Dr. Michele Lanza
