Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of this Special Issue was a great success. Now, we invite you to publish in the second edition. (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/1PVL35F9YK)
This Special Issue focuses on advancements in optometry and visual sciences. It encompasses binocular vision, eye movements, eye tracking, anterior and posterior pole examination, accommodation, lighting effects, circadian light, color vision, aberrometry, and developments in the fields of ocular surface, contact lenses, and refractive surgery. Researchers in vision sciences, eye care providers, ophthalmologists, and optometrists require access to cutting-edge information to enhance their clinical practices. However, with the demands of daily patient care, staying updated with the latest developments in visual optics can be challenging. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to disseminate the most recent findings and advances in these disciplines to professionals.
Research is crucial for ensuring improved clinical outcomes through knowledge accumulation, innovation, and continuous improvement. This Special Issue welcomes original research and comprehensive reviews on recent progress in advanced optometry, clinical studies, and innovative approaches in ocular health.
