Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have witnessed significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases. These advances have been made possible by the development of novel imaging technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angiography, which enable the detailed visualization of the retina. In addition, there have been major advances in the development of novel drugs and gene therapies for retinal diseases.
Some of the recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases include the following:
- The development of new imaging technologies, such as OCT and angiography, which enable the detailed visualization of the retina.
- The development of new drugs, such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs, which can be employed to treat wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
- The development of gene therapies, such as Luxturna®, which can be used to treat inherited retinal diseases.
These advances have led to improved outcomes for patients with retinal diseases. However, there is still much to be achieved in the field. This Special Issue in the Journal of Clinical & Translational Ophthalmology, focusing on retinal diseases, will connect leading experts in the field to discuss the latest advances in this area. The articles in this Special Issue will provide valuable insights into the potential of these advances to improve the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases.
