Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the launch of a new Special Issue titled "Advancements in Femtosecond Laser Applications". This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments and research in femtosecond laser-assisted surgeries, particularly focusing on cataract surgery and corneal applications.
Femtosecond laser technology has become essential in cataract and especially corneal surgery, offering unprecedented precision and control. Despite its benefits, there are ongoing challenges such as managing inflammatory responses and optimizing surgical outcomes. This Special Issue seeks to address these core problems by inviting contributions that evaluate the efficacy and safety profiles of femtosecond laser techniques in various applications.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Cataract Surgery: Innovations and implications of emerging techniques in both conventional and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, with a focus on strategies to minimize intraoperative and postoperative complications and enhance long-term outcomes.
- Corneal Applications: Studies on femtosecond laser-assisted Corneal Allogenic Intrastromal Ring Segments (CAIRS) implantation for keratoconus, femtosecond laser-assisted deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and other types of corneal refractive surgery.
We encourage submissions that provide comprehensive reviews, original research articles and clinical studies or case reports. Our goal is to summon the ophthalmology community to contribute their findings and insights, fostering a collaborative environment to advance the field.
