Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of medical and surgical retina has grown rapidly during the last few decades. Several new and promising treatments, technological developments, and advanced surgical techniques have become available for eye conditions, including age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusions, diabetic retinopathy and macular oedema, retinal detachment, macular holes and membranes, genetic disorders, uveitis, and inflammations.
This Special Issue aims to summarize modern therapeutic and surgical approaches on retinal and vitreoretinal diseases, adding a valuable contribution to our existing knowledge, to describe the current state of the art, as well as to provide directions for future research.
High-quality original research studies of both clinical and experimental interest and comprehensive review articles will be considered for publication. Moreover, COVID-19-related articles will also be considered.
Potential topics include but are not limited to medical and surgical management of:
- Age-related macular degeneration;
- Anti-VEGF and new implants;
- Retinal vein occlusions;
- Retinal detachments;
- Diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy;
- Epiretinal membranes and macular holes;
- Uveitis and inflammations;
- Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of vitreoretinal conditions.
