Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in the world of unprecedented progress in medical knowledge and technology. Recent years have also brought dramatic changes in the field of ophthalmology. In the face of this evolution, I believe that it would be very useful to bring all the emerging concepts together in a single publication.
I would therefore like to invite you to contribute a paper to the Special Issue of Medicina, entitled “Evolving Concepts in Clinical Ophthalmology and Ophthalmic Surgery”. You will be asked not only to present the latest concepts in ophthalmology but also to review recent advances in the diagnosis, therapy, and research of specific ocular diseases.
The aim of the Special Issue is to facilitate the understanding of the evolving concepts as well as to provide a forum for the discussion of diagnostic and surgical procedures. However, the ultimate goal is to share recent ophthalmologic knowledge in a comprehensive and readable way with the view of informing daily clinical practice and delineating future directions for research.
We are soliciting high-quality original research, review articles of exceptional merit, and unique case reports. Papers focusing on pathological mechanisms, immune aspects, diagnostic methods, and vision-related quality of life are welcome.
