Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid development of new diagnostic technology enabled more precise and reproducible assessment of changes in anterior segment structures, such as, cornea, conjunctiva, sclera, anterior chamber and lens. Application of these technology has become essential for better diagnosis of anterior segment disorders. Use of novel imaging devices also contributed to the improvement of outcomes of cornea, cataract and refractive surgery. Therefore, introduction of new methods and devices would provide improved treatment outcomes as well as enhanced diagnostic accuracy in anterior segment disorders. Development of more reliable diagnostic criteria for anterior segment diseases, e.g., dry eye disease, would be helpful for more accurate diagnosis, which may result in better monitoring and treatment of the diseases.
In this special issue, research or review papers on the diagnosis of anterior segment disorder would be welcome. Any papers on devices or methods for assessment or visualization of anterior segment disorders would also be welcome.
