Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical ophthalmology is experiencing a period of rapid transformation, driven by technological innovation, evolving therapeutic options, and shifting demographic demands. This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest advancements, emerging trends, and persistent challenges in clinical ophthalmology. With rapid developments in diagnostic technologies, therapeutic interventions, and surgical techniques, the field continues to evolve, offering opportunities to improve patient outcomes. However, challenges such as disease complexity, accessibility to care, and the integration of novel treatments into clinical practice remain. By bringing together perspectives from research, clinical practice, and policy, this Special Issue seeks to serve as a vital resource for ophthalmologists, researchers, and allied healthcare professionals, fostering innovation and collaborative solutions.
