Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Therapies for degenerative retinal diseases are rapidly evolving toward personalized or precision medicines, the aim of which is to stop or reverse the degenerative process by targeting its molecular mechanisms. In order to optimize this approach, it is essential to evaluate in detail the relationships between the structure and function of the retina in different pathologies.
This Special Issue aims to examine the correlations (or absence thereof) between the retinal structure and function in degenerative diseases of the retina, from animal models to clinical practice. This approach has important implications for expressing the maximum therapeutic potential of emerging treatments based on personalized medicine.
