Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ophthalmology has undergone continuous modernization in recent years due to the innovations of ever-more-advanced technology that have made major strides in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of ocular diseases.
New genetic discoveries and ocular diagnostic technologies (such as optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, ocular ultrasound, etc.) have expanded our understanding of several ocular pathologies, including choroidal and retinal diseases and optic nerve diseases, which represent a compelling challenge in ophthalmology, considering that these diseases are vision-threatening and may also impact the patient’s quality of life. With the goal of better understanding the nature of these complex and multifaceted ocular diseases and how to treat them, this Special Issue will encourage research on the latest developments in the management and treatment of retinal and optic nerve diseases, from the etiology to the diagnosis and personalized treatment.
Dr. Livio Vitiello
Guest Editor
