Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Glaucoma remains a major cause of blindness worldwide and the number of affected individuals continues to grow with each decade. The fields of glaucoma diagnostics and therapeutics have seen significant advancements in the past two decades, including in the areas of OCT imaging, functional testing, laser treatment, innovative minimally invasive surgery, and new medications and delivery methods. More recently, AI has aided in both diagnostics and therapy. The aim of this Topic is to develop updates for practicing doctors and clinician-scientists and present new investigations in the field that advance our knowledge of this important disease closely linked to blindness.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
