Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few years, the diagnosis of glaucoma has been largely modified by the clinical introduction of innovative devices. The use of new outcomes and sophisticated statistical models pursues early detection of progression at any stage of the disease. Very recently, the first steps towards the integration between structural and functional data have been accomplished. There is increased awareness of progression at any stage of the disease by integrating structural and functional data. There is increased awareness of the importance of limiting ocular surface damage induced by treatments in order to achieve adequate adherence and to preserve quality of life in glaucoma patients. New medications are now available and neuroprotection is frequently used as a complementary treatment to intraocular pressure reduction. Finally, the recent clinical introduction of several devices for minimally invasive glaucoma surgery has strongly modified the frequency and time on which patients are allocated to surgery. Following these innovations and despite the availability of specific guidelines, decision-making processes for glaucoma patients have become more complex, also due to increased attention to socioeconomic burdens and cost-effectiveness analyses.
In this Special Issue, we seek to outline the new advances in glaucoma field, focusing on how to improve the clinical management of our patients.
