Recent Advances in Neuro-Opthalmology

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, neuro-ophthalmology has witnessed significant advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Neuro-ophthalmology has come a long way from a specialty that “admires disease” to one that employs sophisticated and highly-technological tools for early diagnosis and evidence-based guidelines in management. In addition, our understanding of many common neuro-ophthalmic conditions has changed and evolved over the years. Treatment of some genetic neuro-ophthalmic conditions such as Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy using gene therapy is in ongoing trials.

This Special Issue of Brain Sciences will focus on recent advances in neuro-ophthalmology and will cover the specialty's state-of-the-art trends and current research advances. Authors are kindly invited to submit manuscripts that will address a broad range of topics including: optic neuritis (MS, MOG, NMO), idiopathic intracranial hypertension, the use of optical coherence tomography in neuro-ophthalmic (optic neuropathies and disc drusen) and neurologic diseases, diagnosis and treatment of Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy, emerging therapeutic options for thyroid eye disease and other inflammatory orbital disorders, and innovative medical and surgical therapeutic options for various neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
