Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“Mechanisms and Treatment of Eye and Vision Conditions” is a specialized scientific domain focused on understanding the biological, molecular, genetic, and physiological mechanisms underlying ocular and visual system disorders. The aim is to advance knowledge that supports the development of effective diagnostic tools, therapeutic strategies, and clinical interventions for a broad spectrum of eye conditions—from common refractive errors and cataracts to complex neuro-ophthalmological and retinal diseases.
The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Pathophysiological mechanisms of eye diseases;
- Innovative therapeutic approaches, including pharmacological treatments, gene and cell-based therapies, and surgical techniques;
- Translational and clinical research bridging laboratory discoveries with patient care;
- Advances in imaging and diagnostic technologies;
- Neuro-visual integration and visual processing disorders.
This field brings together researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals across ophthalmology, neuroscience, optometry, pharmacology, and biomedical engineering, with the shared goal of preserving and restoring vision.
