Eye Disease: Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis

Dear Colleagues,

The human eye is a marvel of biological engineering, enabling us to experience the world in vibrant detail. However, a wide range of diseases can threaten this precious sense. Early and accurate diagnosis, coupled with effective management strategies, is crucial for preserving vision and improving patients’ quality of life.

This Special Issue of Diagnostics aims to explore the latest advancements in eye disease diagnosis, management and prognosis. We invite submissions that address the evolving landscape of ophthalmology and contribute to improved patient care.

Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Innovative diagnostic techniques such as:

    Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in image analysis;

    Advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) applications;

    The use of other novel imaging modalities;

    Emerging treatment strategies could include:

    Gene therapy;

    Targeted drug delivery systems;

    Advancements in surgical techniques;

     The exploration of personalized medicine approaches;

     Prognostic biomarkers and predictive models that can predict:

     Disease progression;

     Treatment response;

     Patient outcomes.

Additionally, articles exploring the development of predictive models for eye diseases are welcome.

    Of interest are public health and global eye care, including the following:

     Teleophthalmology applications;

        Screening programs for underserved populations;

        Cost-effective diagnostic and treatment strategies.

We encourage submissions from a variety of research disciplines, including ophthalmology, biomedical engineering and computer science. This Special Issue welcomes original research articles, reviews and perspectives that advance the field of eye disease diagnosis, management and prognosis.

We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions!

Sincerely,

Dr. Adam Wylęgała
Guest Editor
