Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As Guest Editors of the forthcoming Special Issue on corneal diseases and corneal transplantation, we warmly invite scholars, clinicians, and researchers to contribute original manuscripts that will enrich our collective understanding of these critical areas of ophthalmology. Corneal diseases can significantly impair vision, causing discomfort and leading to blindness if untreated. Corneal transplantation remains a pivotal intervention, offering hope to those with severe corneal damage.
This Special Issue aims to compile a comprehensive collection of peer reviewed articles exploring various topics related to corneal diseases and transplantation. We invite original articles or reviews focusing on, but not limited to, the following potential topics: prevalence and epidemiology of corneal diseases, advancements in diagnostic technologies and imaging techniques, and corneal transplantation outcomes and techniques.
We are particularly interested in manuscripts addressing the latest research on corneal endothelial, novel approaches to improve graft survival, the impact of donor and recipient factors on transplantation outcomes, and the application of artificial intelligence in corneal disease diagnosis and management. Additionally, insights into patient quality of life post-transplantation and strategies for addressing challenges in global access to corneal transplantation are highly welcome.
We are honored to invite contributors to submit their studies, helping to advance the field and improve patient care.
