Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an ever-increasing awareness of ocular diseases by owners and veterinarians, and diagnostic tools and treatment modalities are increasingly available. Animals are also models for several human diseases, and ophthalmic disorders are no exception.
In this context, ophthalmologic pathology can play a key role in understanding the pathogenesis of ocular diseases and in the development of novel therapies. The eye is a complex, heterogeneous organ, starting from embryologic development involving all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm), where mature structures further encompass an interplay with many other systems (tegument, brain, muscles, etc.).
This Special Issue of Veterinary Sciences aims to collect and disseminate some of the most significant and recent research regarding ocular diseases in all animal species, with a focus on pathology. Authors are invited to submit relevant research studies and review articles. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Ocular development and embryogenesis;
- Inherited eye disorders;
- Ocular tumors;
- Inflammatory eye diseases;
- Ocular toxicity of exogenous compounds;
- Animal models of ophthalmic diseases.
