Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue on light-induced retinal injury.
Retinal injury can occur due to exposure to high-intensity light, such as accidental or self-harming exposure to direct sunlight or artificial light sources, or direct gazing at the Sun when watching a solar eclipse without proper filters to provide sufficient eye protection. Over recent years, new insights have been gained into the role of retinaldehyde, oxidized lipids, the complement system, and microglia/macrophages in light-induced retinal injury, and novel protective strategies to ameliorate retinal photodamage have been developed. We welcome contributions reviewing the progress in understanding the mechanisms involved in retinal photodamage as well as the findings of original research. The total solar eclipse visible from Mexico, the USA, and Canada on 8th April 2024 was followed by some reports of functional and structural changes, visible in the retina using traditional ophthalmoscopy, optical coherence tomography, and/or adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. Now, as the anniversary of the solar eclipse approaches, we encourage contributions of case studies of solar retinopathy with long-term follow-ups.

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. Vision is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
