Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 2nd Edition of the Special Issue Clinical Advances in Glaucoma (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/GO39UMU3B7).
Glaucoma is a chronic and progressive optic neuropathy disease, resulting in the deterioration of visual function. Intraocular pressure increase is not the only symptom responsible for the development and progression of glaucoma, although it is the only one on which effective therapeutic action can be carried out.
Recently, many advances in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma have been described, and structural glaucoma diagnostic advances with optical coherence tomography have improved its diagnostic performance. The recent COVID-19 outbreak has led to advances in the development of telemedicine and even iPad perimetric testing. One of the technological advances that has contributed to the increased interest in the influence of the vascular factor on the development of glaucoma is optical coherence tomography with angiography or optical coherence angiotomography. With this non-invasive tool, circumpapillary, papillar and macular vessel density have been shown to be lower in glaucoma patients.
On the other hand, while Goldmann applanation tonometry is still the gold standard for pressure measurements, new tonometers based on different working principles are gradually being introduced into routine clinical practice.
Currently, further progress is necessary in new diagnostic techniques and telemedicine applied to the disease.
Dr. Carmen Dora Méndez-Hernández

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.
