Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Advancements and Challenges in Retina Surgery: Second Edition”. This is a continuation of our first edition, in which we published six papers. For more details, please visit the following website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/KN6T8M8M32.
Over the last decade, retinal specialists have contributed to important advances in the management of different vitreoretinal diseases. This knowledge, accumulated from basic and clinical studies, has arised in conjunction with the development of new technologies. In this context, multimodal imaging has significantly improved the diagnosis, understanding, and classification of already-known pathologies, as well as the description of new entities. Moreover, the presence of small-gauge vitreotomes with ultra-high-speed cut rates, microscopes with integrated OCT, and the ability to administer various drugs and therapies into the vitreous cavity, as well as the subretinal and suprachoroidal spaces, has revolutionized vitreoretinal surgery, paving the way for safer treatement of more complex and challenging cases.
This Special Issue aims to publish original articles that guide ophthalmologists in the surgical treatment of vitreoretinal diseases. High-quality reviews articles of broad interest are welcome.
