Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Vision in Focus: Advances in Veterinary Ophthalmology”, will bring together significant research and reviews on ocular diseases in all animal species, with a key emphasis on advancing ophthalmology.
The primary aim is to advance our understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying ophthalmic disorders in order to support the development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies to help maintain and protect ocular health.
A particular objective is to highlight systemic diseases with ocular involvement, offering a broad and integrative view of the eye as both a specialized organ and a window into systemic health.
Submissions addressing the interplay between ocular pathology and other systems—including the neurological, dermatological, muscular, and immune systems—are especially welcome.
Authors are invited to submit relevant research studies and review articles. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Ocular development and embryogenesis;
- Inherited eye disorders;
- Systemic and/or ocular tumors;
- Inflammatory eye diseases;
- Ocular toxicity of exogenous compounds;
- Animal models of ophthalmic diseases;
- Systemic diseases with ophthalmic manifestations;
- Diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
