Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past decade, the field of visual optics has experienced remarkable advancements. With an increasing emphasis on controlling myopia onset and progression, innovative optical modalities for myopia management have emerged. Refractive surgery, an effective method for myopia correction, has also progressed significantly, particularly with the widespread use of femtosecond technology in corneal refractive procedures. Additionally, novel intraocular lens (IOL) designs for cataract surgery continue to emerge. Significant strides have been made in ocular imaging technologies, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and adaptive optics, which have greatly improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. Advances in ophthalmic biomechanics have enhanced our understanding of the mechanical properties of the eye, which is crucial for developing effective treatments for conditions like keratoconus. Moreover, the integration of big data and artificial intelligence in ophthalmology is showcasing immense potential for furthering the field.
This Special Issue of Photonics on “Advances in Vision Optics” will focus on, but is not limited to, new optical designs for ophthalmic lenses, refractive and cataract surgeries, myopia control, biomechanics, and the application of big data, machine learning, and deep learning in ophthalmology. We invite submissions that span visual optics, physiological optics, ophthalmology, and ocular imaging, including theoretical, experimental, and clinical studies.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
