Latest Developments in Ocular Biometry

Dear Colleagues,

Many eye diseases and conditions can be predicted by looking at the axial length of the eye. Studies indicate that long axial length is associated with primary open-angle glaucoma, while short axial length and shallow anterior chamber predispose to primary closed-angle glaucoma. Additionally, axial length is used to track methods for myopia control. A good understanding of ocular biometric parameters like axial length is crucial for understanding the risk factors and determinants of ametropia. Another fundamental use of ocular biometry is the calculation of IOLs in cataract surgery, where accurate ocular biometry is essential to obtain the desired refractive result. For all these reasons, ocular biometry has become a routine practice in ophthalmic examinations, and is a field that has undergone intense evolution in recent decades. However, there are few studies on ocular biometry. This Special Issue plans to give an overview of the latest advances in this field. This Special Issue aims to provide contributions on the different methods of ocular biometry, as well as their applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Types of ocular biometers.
• Comparison of the different methods of biometry.
• Biometry and intraocular lens calculation.
• Association between refractive errors and ocular biometry.
• Biometry and primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Photonics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
