Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of imaging technology continues to ensure the precise and accurate assessment of even the most subtle changes in anterior segment structures, such as the eyelid conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, anterior chamber, iris, and lens. In recent years, the clinical application of devices employing these cutting-edge technologies has become critical for the enhanced diagnostic accuracy of anterior segment disorders. The utilization of these imaging devices can also lead to improvements in the visual and anatomical outcomes of the cornea, cataracts and refractive surgery. Hence, the introduction of these novel technology and devices can provide not only improved diagnostic accuracy, but also enhanced treatment outcomes in anterior segment diseases. The further development of imaging technology, e.g., the application of artificial intelligence, for anterior segment disorders is expected to allow for a more accurate diagnosis and precise assessment of changes in anterior segment structures in response to the specific treatment.
In this Special Issue, research or review papers on the advances and development of anterior segment imaging techniques are welcome, as well as any papers on new devices or methods for the imaging and evaluation of anterior segment structure of the eye. In addition, clinical application of the technologies and research of imaging devices at pre-clinical levels are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
