Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to introduce “New Insights into Glaucoma”, a new Special issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) dedicated to diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgical treatments including cataract surgery, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, and other new surgical options. And this special issue also covers the update on artificial intelligence and glaucoma.
In recent years, there have been great advances in the diagnosis and new surgical approaches for glaucoma. However, glaucoma are still the major cause of irreversible blindness. Thus, early diagnosis of glaucoma with risk calculation and proper management are still important unmet needs to address.
Our Special Issue covers a broad range of topics related to mentioned above. First, we address a novel, acceptable cost glaucoma risk calculator to identify glaucoma patients and stratify management. Second, there are not yet clear consensus guiding minimally invasive glaucoma surgery or interventional glaucoma choices such as Phacoemulsification with/without goniotomy (BANG, GATT), Hydrus, iStent inject, OMNI and subconjunctival bleb forming procedures. Third, in this special issue, we will explore the technical variation of conventional glaucoma surgery (pars plana approach of glaucoma drainage devices, Novel Retrobulbar Tube options for advanced glaucoma etc). Finally, we call the research regarding the recent update on artificial intelligence and glaucoma.
This Special Issue aims to share expert views on the new insight into glaucoma in diagnosis and management of glaucoma. We invite authors to submit original research, reviews and clinical cases relating to these topics. We also encourage contribution from all regions of the world and look forward to receiving your recent valuable research.
