Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple ocular diseases, either in the anterior or in the posterior segment of the eye, and is at the base of a vicious cycle in which oxidative stress burden progressively accumulates. The impairment of the endogenous anti-oxidant defenses with aging also contributes to dysfunction and oxidative stress burden in such diseases. In this context, natural compounds, and nanotechnological and molecular approaches targeting the oxidative stress or prompting the rescue of anti-oxidant defenses represent challenging strategies for the development of therapies to delay/limit the progression of multiple diseases.
In this Special Issue we invite researchers to provide original research articles, clinical reports, and review articles that relate to oxidative stress and corneal (i.e., keratoconus), lens (i.e., cataract) and retinal (i.e., age-related macular degeneration) diseases. Additionally, studies on anti-oxidant therapeutic strategies may be submitted for evaluation.

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. Antioxidants is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs).
