Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vision and eye health are of great importance for daily life, and it is essential to preserve them in order to maintain a good quality of life. Optometry is the area of health sciences focused on the compensation of refractive errors through ophthalmic lenses or contact lenses, detects eye diseases through eye examinations, applies the necessary techniques for the diagnosis, prognosis, rehabilitation of visual health anomalies, and manages the prevention of eye diseases.
It is currently an open field of research for its development, whereas it should be studied in relation to other areas such as ophthalmology, pediatrics, psychology and sports.
The objective of this Special Issue is to generate an overview of new developments in optometry, present approaches to new techniques, treatments, rehabilitation of anomalies, instruments for diagnosis or focus on improving visual quality. We expect to compile original articles and review articles on new developments in visual health.
Dr. Maria Serramito-Blanco
