New Horizons in Myopia Management: Bridging Epidemiology and Clinical Innovation

Dear Colleagues,

As Guest Editors of the forthcoming Special Issue on myopia, we warmly invite scholars, clinicians, and researchers to contribute original manuscripts that will enrich our collective understanding of this increasingly prevalent ocular condition. Myopia can lead to physiological changes in the eye that increase the risk of sight-threatening complications, while even non-pathological changes can detrimentally impact visual quality and an individual's overall quality of life.

Myopia can lead to irreversible visual impairment. Early detection and intervention of eye and visual disorders are particularly crucial in childhood, given the younger population's more rapid development.

The primary aim of this Special Issue is to assemble a comprehensive collection of peer-reviewed articles that explore a wide array of topics related to myopia and other visual disorders. We invite original articles or reviews focused on, but not limited to, the following potential topics: prevalence studies of myopia or other visual disorders, risk and prevention factors, treatment and control methods, approaches for detecting and measuring the risk of developing myopia or other visual disorders, the influence of myopia on visual function and overall quality of life, and ocular pathologies in childhood. We are also keen to include articles that delve into advances in diagnostic technologies and imaging techniques, the role of artificial intelligence in myopia research, and innovations in treatment modalities, including pharmacological interventions and surgical procedures.

Given the rapidly evolving landscape of myopia research, marked by significant technological advancements and a growing wealth of studies within the literature, this Special Issue aims to serve as a valuable resource for clinicians striving to keep pace with the field.
We are honored to invite contributors to submit studies.
