Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled "Latest Advances in Glaucoma, Cataract and Refractive Surgery: Expert Views, 2nd Edition". This is a continuation of the previous series.

In recent years, there have been great advances in the study of the anterior ocular segment. Specifically, the most modern imaging techniques have revolutionized the study of glaucoma allowing, including better in vivo characterization and outflow pathway studies. Regarding cataract and refractive surgery, new imaging technologies help to evaluate refractive implants and their in vivo interaction from a new perspective. Moreover, recent efforts have attempted to more precisely determine the risk of postoperative ectasia by combining different technologies. In addition, there are numerous new therapeutic proposals that exist in the aforementioned areas, which aim to achieve a more individualized and personalized treatment for each patient.

Our Special Issue covers a broad range of topics related to the mentioned clinical challenges, including clinical evaluation, medical and surgical treatments, and new diagnostic and management approaches. It will also highlight emerging trends and future directions for research in these important fields.

This Special Issue will aim to collate expert views on the latest developments in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma, cataract, and refractive surgery. We invite authors to submit original research articles and reviews relating to these topics, and we encourage contributions from all regions of the world to ensure a diverse and comprehensive representation of the latest developments in this field. We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background/Objectives: To determine the impact of corneal and biometry parameters on the normative root mean square (RMS) values of corneal aberrations measured at a 6 mm diameter. Methods: The RMS values for corneal aberrations (anterior, posterior, and total) were measured along with corneal parameters using Scheimpflug tomography on 770 normal subjects. The biometric parameters were measured with an optical biometer. A multiple linear regression model was used to assess the effect of these parameters on the RMS values for corneal aberrations. Results: The mean RMS values for low-order (LOAs) and high-order 6 mm aberrations (HOAs) were 1.883 ± 0.797 µm and 0.484 ± 0.173 µm, respectively, and for the anterior and posterior cornea, the values were 0.775 ± 0.166 µm and 0.189 ± 0.036 µm, respectively. For the anterior cornea, the main predictors of the RMS LOAs (R2 = 69.8%) were anterior corneal astigmatism (ACA) and anterior corneal elevation (Ele F) on the apex (both p < 0.0001) and for the RMS HOAs (R2 = 33.3%) the main predictors were age, ACA, and Ele F on the thinnest point (all p < 0.0001). For the posterior cornea, considering only the posterior corneal variables, the main predictors of the RMS LOAs (R2 = 63.4%) were posterior corneal astigmatism and posterior corneal elevation (Ele B) on the thinnest point and apex (all p < 0.0001) and for the RMS HOAs (R2 = 46%) the main predictors were the mean posterior keratometry and Ele B on the thinnest point and apex (all p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Normative data of RMS values for corneal aberrations measured over 6 mm are influenced by age and several corneal parameters, which should be considered when evaluating the diagnostic ability of the RMS values.
