Corneal Diseases: Clinical Diagnosis and Management

Dear Colleagues,

Due to their optical function, corneal diseases are a major challenge. Efficient diagnosis and combined therapy methods can effectively save vision or improve its quality. The main goal of this Special Issue is to indicate the connections between modern diagnostic methods and the optimization of the therapeutic process. Combining advances in imaging and molecular techniques can support diagnoses and indicate the appropriate therapeutic path.

Currently, OCT technology comprises a wide range of diagnostic applications supported by confocal microscopy and cytodiagnostics. In turn, numerical methods can segregate such data and obtain more precise information and locate it in a specific tissue area. Rare diseases, where quick diagnoses are crucial, are a challenge, as are diseases with rapid progression.

Let us prove that imaging techniques and diagnostics based on the latest achievements in this field and molecular techniques are the future of ophthalmology.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
