Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Journal of Clinical Medicine will be publishing a Special Edition devoted to recent advances on the effects of brain injury to vision and vision care. One aim of this edition is to provide research and/or review articles to better familiarize non-vision care providers with the impact of traumatic brain injury on patients’ vision. Another goal is to demonstrate how traumatic brain manifestations are protean and demand a team approach not only for diagnosis but also therapy. Finally, it is hoped that readers of this Special Edition will recognize the value and limitations of current rehabilitation approaches as well as where current research is heading.
I hope you will partner with us to improve awareness of how significantly brain injury impacts the lives of patients’ vision and overall wellbeing in general.
Dr. Eric Lowell Singman
Guest Editor
