Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This second volume of this Special Issue follows on from the success of the first. We invite you to publish your research in this edition of “Novel Diagnosis and Therapeutics Approaches in Retina Diseases” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/life/special_issues/68556WR3U8).
Basic clinical research continuously provides novel insights in the field of retina disorders, and novel imaging tools contribute to more in-depth and early diagnoses. In addition, vitreoretinal surgery is becoming progressively less traumatic and more effective in treating an ever-wider number of pathologies. Moreover, nonsurgical therapies are gaining increasingly more attention; novel drugs, gene therapy, optogenetics, retinal prosthesis, etc., represent concrete hopes for diseases considered incurable up till now. For this reason, it is essential that good ideas and novel insights are shared among scientists, mainly in the interest of patients.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present as wide a range of innovations as possible in the field of retina disorder diagnosis and therapy; thus, we encourage the submission of manuscripts covering topics from basic research to the description of intriguing clinical cases.
