Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Age-related macular degeneration is one of the main causes of visual impairment today. Ongoing research in the field aims to better clarify the multifactorial mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the disease and improve treatment strategies. Novel imaging methods such as near-infrared reflectance, enhanced depth imaging, and spectral domain optical coherence angiography have given new insight to both retinal and choroidal alterations in age-related macular degeneration, but further research is warranted. A major aim of current research is the search for retinal and choroidal biomarkers that can facilitate clinical assessment, improve diagnosis and inform on factors involved in disease progression with the ultimate aim to refine management strategies.
This Special Issue is focused on clinical research advances in age-related macular degeneration. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following: multimodal imaging of the retina and choroid, identification of biomarkers for improved classification, prediction of progression of disease, and management strategies.
