Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there have been great gains in diagnosing and managing corneal and ocular surface diseases. Our understanding of such conditions has also progressed significantly, from the infinitesimal molecular aberrations that underpin them to the large-scale epidemiological patterns that occur.
This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest research evidence on these diseases across disciplines. As such, we invite high-quality submissions of original research and review articles on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of corneal and ocular surface diseases and pathobiology. Submissions from across disciplines, including laboratory, clinical and population health-based research, are welcome.
Through a multidisciplinary approach, this Special Issue aims to support a fuller understanding of corneal and ocular surface diseases and ultimately improve patient outcomes through evidence-based practice.
