Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ocular surface is a complex and dynamic environment that can be affected by a wide spectrum of benign, premalignant, and malignant tumors, as well as inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Recent advances in diagnostic technologies—such as high-resolution anterior segment imaging, confocal microscopy, and molecular diagnostics—have enhanced our ability to accurately detect and characterize these conditions at earlier stages. Concurrently, novel medical and surgical therapies, including topical chemotherapeutics, immunomodulatory agents, and minimally invasive surgical techniques, have transformed the management of these challenging disorders. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research and clinical advancements in the diagnosis, imaging, pathophysiology, and treatment of ocular surface tumors and diseases. We welcome original research articles and reviews that contribute to improved understanding and patient care in this rapidly evolving field.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Journal of Clinical Medicine.
