Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The presence of papilledema, a marker of potential intracranial hypertension or optic nerve disease, can sometimes be exceedingly difficult to diagnose, despite recent advancements in ophthalmic technology. Optic nerve diseases, also known as optic neuropathies, are neurodegenerative disorders that can put patients' vision at serious risk, especially if they are not identified early.
In recent years, ocular diagnostic technology (ocular ultrasound, OCT, etc.), as well as new genetic discoveries, have provided new answers and increased our knowledge about this complex group of pathologies, which poses a compelling challenge in ophthalmology but also in the medical field in general.
The purpose of this Special Issue will be to promote research on the new advances in optic nerve diseases, going from etiology, to diagnosis and to treatment, trying to better understand the nature of these challenging diseases and how to deal with them.
Dr. Livio Vitiello
Guest Editor
