Advances in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Ocular Surface Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Ocular surface disease is a common disorder affecting millions of people worldwide. The disease is characterized by eye discomfort, visual impairment, and ocular surface damage, depending on its severity. Given that ocular surface disease reduces the quality of life and health of patients, translational and clinical studies in the field of ophthalmology have been performed to elucidate its new diagnostic techniques and new treatment methods, such as artificial intelligence, imaging technology, and gene therapy.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight novel research findings on ocular surface disease, including pathophysiological mechanisms based on clinical investigations, diagnostic techniques, and the latest treatment methods. In so doing, we aim to reveal gray areas for future research on ocular surface disease. We welcome submissions of original research and review articles. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Incidence and pathogenic factors of ocular surface disease.
• Pathogenesis of ocular surface disease.
• New diagnostic techniques for ocular surface disease.
•  New progress in the treatment of ocular surface disease.
