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.
