Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advances in personalized therapy and clinical outcomes for myopia and other ocular conditions. With the global prevalence of myopia rising sharply—particularly among children and young adults—there is an urgent need for effective, individualized interventions. At the same time, a wide range of ocular disorders continue to pose significant public health challenges worldwide.

We are particularly interested in clinical approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and management, including pharmacological, optical, surgical, and behavioral strategies. Contributions that address innovations in diagnostics, digital tools, artificial intelligence, and sustainability in eye care are especially welcome.

By bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, promote collaborative innovation, and highlight both emerging technologies and persistent challenges in the field. We invite original research articles and comprehensive reviews that contribute to advancing individualized care and improving clinical outcomes in myopia and other visual disorders.

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.

Background/Objectives: Autorefractometers are valuable tools in clinical practice, but their accuracy is often questioned, especially in the pediatric population. This study aimed to compare refraction data from open-field and close-field autorefractometers and subjective refraction without using cycloplegia. Methods: A total of 50 eyes of 50 participants (19 males and 31 females, 11.8 ± 1.56 years) were evaluated. In a single visit, objective refraction was performed using NVision-K 5001 (open-field) and Visionix VX120 (close-field) autorefractometers, and subjective refraction using the fogging technique. Differences between procedures were assessed for sphere, spherical equivalent, and cylindrical vectors J0 and J45 using the Friedman test, followed by the post hoc Wilcoxon test as needed. Results: Significant differences were found in the sphere between the three procedures (all p ≤ 0.032). For the spherical equivalent, the Visionix VX120 differed significantly with the other two techniques (both p < 0.001), whereas no significant differences were found between NVision-K 5001 and subjective refraction (p = 0.193). Finally, no significant differences were observed for J0 and J45 vectors among the procedures (both p ≥ 0.166). Conclusions: There are certain discrepancies between autorefractometers and the subjective assessment of refractive error, most evident in measurements taken with the close-field device, possibly due to greater accommodative stimulation. However, in contexts such as visual screening or as a preliminary guide in the clinic, the values obtained by autorefractometry can provide useful information. Full article
