Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few years, the ophthalmological world has been revolutionized by technological advances in the diagnosis and management of eye diseases. The new generation of non-invasive diagnostic tools, such as spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography, has dramatically improved the timing and accuracy in the diagnosis of severe retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, macular pucker, macular hole, retinal detachment, etc.
Further, the progress in the therapeutic approach of different eye diseases has allowed better results in terms of visual prognosis. Today, the medical treatment of retinal diseases such as exudative age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, and macular edema post-retinal vein occlusion uses different types of antivascular endothelial growth factor intravitreal administration and slow-release steroid systems.
The technological progress in the use of mini-invasive surgical instruments has made surgery less traumatic, more effective, and faster, mostly in the field of vitreoretinal surgery, where, currently, small gauge vitrectomy, such as 25 gauge and 27 gauge, is becoming routine. The aim of this Special Issue is to describe “the state of the art” and updates in the diagnosis and management of ophthalmological diseases, focusing on new diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives.
