Personalized Ophthalmology: Optometry and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Optometry, as a discipline focused on visual health and the treatment of eye disorders, has incorporated technological and scientific advances that allow for more precise diagnoses and personalized treatments.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and the effectiveness of treatment, adapting them to the individual needs of each patient, considering genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

The scope of personalized optometry encompasses precise diagnosis, with advanced technologies; personalized therapies, adapting treatments according to the characteristics of the patients; and prevention and monitoring, with preventive strategies and monitoring programs adapted to risk groups.

Research in this area is based on several areas, including the use of advanced imaging technologies, allowing earlier and more accurate diagnoses and facilitating more effective treatments, and portable devices and digital technology, facilitating access to health services, improving treatment adherence, and allowing for continuous and remote monitoring. These technological advances optimize quality of life and clinical outcomes in ocular health.

In summary, current research in optometry and the development of personalized treatments promise to transform optometric practice, offering more precise and effective care to improve patients' quality of life.
