Advances in Vision Optics, Myopia Control and Refractive Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

The past decade has witnessed rapid development in the field of visual optics. With the high and early onset of myopia, prevention and control of its progression have become a global focus, with Intensive studies being conducted. Correspondingly, new optical modalities of myopia prevention and control have emerged and been applied to clinical work. Refractive surgery, as an effective means of myopia correction, has also achieved rapid development in this decade. Femtosecond technology has been widely used in corneal refractive surgery, and novel IOL designs for cataract surgery are also continuously emerging. In addition, it is worth mentioning that big data, as well as artificial intelligence, are used in ophthalmology, exhibiting their great potential.

The present Special Issue of Optics on “Advances in Vision Optics, Myopia Control and Refractive Surgery” aims to highlight this rapid and exciting progress in this research area. It will focus on the novel optical designs of ophthalmic lenses such as the intraocular lens, contact lens, spectacles and orthokeratology, etc; advances in refractive surgeries; studies on myopia control as well as the applications of big data, machine learning or deep learning in visual optics and ophthalmology. The focus is not limited to the above topics. Therefore, we call for the submission of multidisciplinary manuscripts in the fields of visual optics and ophthalmology, to provide a broad range of theoretical, experimental, and clinical studies.
