Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances that improve the diagnosis and treatment of major anterior eye segment disorders. By bringing together innovative research and clinical experience, we seek to accelerate the development and application of technologies and therapies that preserve vision and enhance patient-reported outcomes.
We welcome the submission of original research, reviews, and systematic reviews that focus on corneal diseases, cataracts, and glaucoma. Topics of interest include corneal diseases, refractive surgery, imaging techniques (e.g., anterior segment OCT, Scheimpflug tomography, non-contact tonometry, specular or confocal microscopy), ultrasound and electrophysiology diagnostics, artificial intelligence-assisted analysis, corneal biomechanics and regenerative strategies, new intraocular lens designs and cataract surgery methods, ocular biometry, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, and targeted or sustained ocular drug delivery. Both preclinical and clinical studies, as well as meta-analyses, are welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.
