Eye Diseases: New Concepts, Treatment Strategies, and Future Trends

Dear Colleagues,

Eye diseases remain a leading cause of visual impairment worldwide and pose a growing clinical and societal burden as populations age and systemic diseases that impact eye diseases become more prevalent. While substantial advances have been made in diagnostics and therapeutics, many ocular conditions continue to be characterized by heterogeneity in presentation, incomplete understanding of underlying mechanisms, and variable responses to treatment. These challenges underscore the need for innovative, cross-disciplinary approaches that integrate basic science, translational research, clinical investigation, and emerging technologies.

This Topic, “Eye Diseases: New Concepts, Treatment Strategies, and Future Trends”, aims to highlight cutting-edge research that advances our understanding of ocular disease mechanisms and translates these insights into improved diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies. We welcome contributions spanning the full spectrum of eye disease research, including but not limited to novel molecular and cellular pathways, biomarkers, imaging modalities, artificial intelligence applications, personalized and precision medicine approaches, and emerging pharmacologic, biologic, and device-based treatments. Particular emphasis is placed on work that bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries and connects ocular health with systemic disease processes.

By bringing together diverse perspectives and methodologies, this Topic seeks to foster innovation, stimulate collaboration, and shape future directions in eye disease research and patient care.
