Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to introduce ‘Clinical Research in Neuro-Ophthalmology’, a Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine dedicated to advancing the evidence base for neuro-ophthalmologic care.
Neuro-ophthalmology is an interdisciplinary field integrating neurology and ophthalmology to address visual dysfunction arising from disorders of the visual pathways. Recent advances in neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and artificial intelligence (AI) have expanded diagnostic and analytical capabilities. However, bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice requires robust, reproducible research. This Special Issue invites high-quality clinical studies that provide concrete insights into the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
This Special Issue focuses on high-quality clinical research that advances understanding of neuro-ophthalmic disease mechanisms, diagnostics, and management. In line with the scope of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, submissions should emphasize reproducibility, detailed methodological reporting, and clear clinical relevance. The Special Issue explicitly welcomes studies reporting meaningful negative or neutral results, as well as AI-based investigations that are well validated and clinically interpretable.
By encouraging the publication of both positive and negative findings, this Special Issue aims to minimize research redundancy and promote a comprehensive evidence base in neuro-ophthalmology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, optic neuropathies, papilledema and intracranial hypertension, neuro-inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders affecting vision, ocular motility and visual pathway disorders, AI-assisted imaging or electrophysiological analysis, clinical trials, real-world studies, and systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Contributions from diverse global perspectives are encouraged, and we eagerly look forward to receiving your valuable research.
