New Insights and Latest Advances in Corneal and Ocular Surface Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there have been great gains in diagnosing and managing corneal and ocular surface diseases. Our understanding of such conditions has also progressed significantly, from the infinitesimal molecular aberrations that underpin them to the large-scale epidemiological patterns that occur.

This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest research evidence on these diseases across disciplines. As such, we invite high-quality submissions of original research and review articles on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of corneal and ocular surface diseases and pathobiology. Submissions from across disciplines, including laboratory, clinical and population health-based research, are welcome.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, this Special Issue aims to support a fuller understanding of corneal and ocular surface diseases and ultimately improve patient outcomes through evidence-based practice.

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. Biomedicines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
