Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Human vision is an extraordinarily refined process, strictly dependent upon the integrity of different structures within the eye. Whenever one of these structures is compromised as a result of a pathological process, the interplay between different portions of the eye is hampered, with a consequent and sometimes significant vision impairment. Chronic conditions like diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma can seriously affect patients’ quality of life and generate a significant socio-economic burden.  Prevention strategies, coupled with accurate diagnosis, are paramount for setting effective therapeutic interventions for our patients. Recent improvements in the field, including novel imaging technologies, machine learning, mini-invasive surgery and intraocular lens technology, abruptly changed our approach to eye diseases, both in terms of early detection of ocular abnormalities and introduction of individualized treatment modalities.

This Special Issue aims to bring together ophthalmologists, with a distinct set of expertise in different subfields of eye care, who may contribute to define the latest improvements in preventing, diagnosing, and treating eye diseases.

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. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Abstract
Objectives: This study compared the visual outcomes and optical quality of two monofocal, aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs; CT LUCIA 621P, Carl Zeiss Meditec; Eyhance ICB00, Johnson & Johnson Vision) by evaluating visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations 1 month post-cataract surgery. Methods: [...] Read more.
Objectives: This study compared the visual outcomes and optical quality of two monofocal, aspheric intraocular lenses (IOLs; CT LUCIA 621P, Carl Zeiss Meditec; Eyhance ICB00, Johnson & Johnson Vision) by evaluating visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and higher-order aberrations 1 month post-cataract surgery. Methods: In this retrospective, comparative study, 120 eyes (72 patients) that underwent cataract surgery with either CT LUCIA 621P (Lucia group) or Eyhance ICB00 (Eyhance group) implantation (60 eyes/group) were retrospectively investigated. Visual acuity at various distances and defocus curves were measured 1 month postoperatively. Optical quality was assessed by comparing contrast sensitivity and internal coma, spherical, and total aberrations by using iTrace (Tracey Technology), a ray-tracing-type aberrometer. Results: The visual acuity and defocus curves were similar between the two IOLs 1 month postoperatively. The Lucia group showed better contrast sensitivity at higher spatial frequencies: 12 cpd (p < 0.001, 1.32 LogCS vs. 1.02 LogCS) and 18 cpd (p = 0.009, 0.74 LogCS vs. 0.47 LogCS) unilaterally and 18 cpd (p = 0.044, 0.94 LogCS vs. 0.60 LogCS) bilaterally. Postoperative internal spherical aberration was significantly lower in the Lucia group (p < 0.001, −0.04 µm vs. −0.003 µm). Internal coma and total aberrations were similar. Conclusions: The visual acuity and defocus curves of the Lucia and Eyhance groups were comparable 1 month post-cataract surgery. The Lucia group’s superior contrast sensitivity and lower postoperative internal spherical aberration were due to differences in IOL designs, particularly the power variation patterns. Full article
