Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Eye injuries have been ranked among the most complicated and expensive to treat, with them affecting a huge number of people and causing long-term disabilities and severe social costs. Ocular trauma is one of the most under-recognized causes of vision loss in the developed world. Blunt or penetrating ocular trauma can lead to vision loss through cataract or glaucoma. Blunt trauma injuries are mainly reported to be related to automobile crashes, sporting activities, and military operations.
Undoubtedly, the application of new technologies has caused diagnosing ocular injuries to be more reliable and the therapeutic approach to be more effective, thus providing patients with better visual outcomes and quality of life.
Nonetheless, to understand the injury because of the trauma, a suitable experimental procedure is required. Blunt injuries from the trauma have been recognized as one of the most significant causes of ocular injuries followed by mechanical deformation in the eye components. However, due to the limitations of the experimental measurements, a numerical model of the eye could be applicable to enable us to measure the mechanical deformation of the eye components.
This Special Issue aims at creating a wide forum of discussion on ocular injuries using a combination of experimental and numerical methods to deepen our knowledge of clinical, diagnostic, biomechanical, and therapeutic aspects across every form of ocular trauma. The published papers will describe new developments in these areas.
High-quality articles containing original research results as well as review articles of exceptional merit will be warmly accepted.
