Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Open-angle glaucoma is a condition with increasing prevalence worldwide; after cataracts, it is the main cause of visual impairment. The identification of the disease and its etiopathogenesis, as well as associated risk factors, leads to its early diagnosis and the reduction in the risk of progression at an important moment in the disease’s development. Open-angle glaucoma, especially secondary glaucoma, result in large variations in intraocular pressure and are painless, as well as leading to the significant progression of the disease and marked impairment of the quality of the patients’ vision. Once diagnosed, modern innovations can be used in its management and to lead to the reduction in intraocular pressure, such as laser therapy or minimally invasive surgery For this Special Issue, we request articles and reviews that include solutions related to the early diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma through new methods of diagnosis and treatment. The pandemic increased the appearance of advanced glaucoma due to the lack of medication and the continued need for treatment. The prediction of glaucoma progression via artificial intelligence tools has recently become a widely debated topic.
