Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Retinopathy is a term used to describe a group of disorders that affect the retina and are usually caused by damage to tiny blood vessels.
Modern ophthalmological imaging methods provide important information on the pathogenesis of diseases such as retinal abnormalities due to diabetic retinopathy or vascular occlusion. Moreover, there is an increasing number of studies on diagnostic methods and treatment patterns for these diseases.
The purpose of the Diagnostics Special Issue on retinopathy is to provide readers with an overview of this ocular disorder—its causes, symptoms, risk factors, diagnostic methods and treatment options. We hope that articles contained in this issue will empower readers with the knowledge and information that can help them effectively prevent and manage retinopathy.
This Special Issue aims to explore recent scientific discoveries in the following research areas:
- Diabetic retinopathy;
- Retinopathy of prematurity;
- Hypertensive retinopathy;
- Retinal vein/artery occlusion;
- Inherited retinal diseases, i.e., Coats disease.
Original research articles that focus on multimodal imaging findings in the diagnostics of retinopathy are welcome. In this research topic, we are looking for original papers and review articles focusing on updated diagnostic patterns and innovative multidisciplinary treatment protocols. Interesting case reports will be also considered for publication.
