Advances in Strabismus and Amblyopia

Dear Colleagues,

Strabismus and amblyopia are common visual disorders affecting both paediatric and adult populations. These conditions can have profound effects on visual development, binocular vision, and quality of life. Significant advances in diagnosis and management have been made in the field; however, many questions remain regarding the underlying mechanisms, optimal clinical management, and long-term outcomes associated with these disorders.

Research in this field is evolving and spans varied disciplines, including clinical ophthalmology, orthoptics, neuroscience, vision science, and public health. Recent developments in imaging technologies, psychophysics, genetics, and treatment strategies are improving our understanding of the mechanisms underlying abnormal ocular alignment and visual development, as well as informing new therapeutic approaches.

This Special Issue will provide a platform for original research and comprehensive reviews addressing contemporary issues related to strabismus and amblyopia. We welcome submissions covering both basic and clinical research that advance our understanding of these conditions and their management.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Clinical characteristics and phenotyping of strabismus and amblyopia;
• Advances in diagnosis and assessment of binocular vision;
• Neural and visual mechanisms underlying amblyopia;
• Visual perception, crowding, and sensory adaptations in strabismus;
• Epidemiology and public health aspects of strabismus and amblyopia;
• Clinical trials and treatment outcomes (e.g., patching, atropine, surgery, binocular therapies);
• Innovations in screening and early detection;
• Technological and digital approaches to treatment and rehabilitation;
• Psychophysical and neurophysiological studies of binocular vision;
• Quality of life and patient-reported outcomes.

Both original research articles and review papers are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and to advancing the understanding and clinical management of strabismus and amblyopia.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical & Translational Ophthalmology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
