Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Ocular diseases are becoming more and more prevalent with time, as the predicted numbers of cases of conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma are expected to nearly double in the next 20 years. The Special Issue begins by highlighting groundbreaking surgical approaches that have revolutionized the field of ocular surgery. Recent research has yielded significant advancements in the realm of minimally invasive procedures, robotic-assisted surgeries, and innovative methodologies pertaining to refractive and cataract surgeries. In not only the retina, but also the anterior segment, cases of corneal disease and damage are exceedingly common, and many surgeries target the cornea and the aqueous humor outflow structures for the treatment of both corneal and retinal disease. In addition to surgeries, novel pharmaceutical treatments and gene therapies are being developed and investigated for the treatment of many ocular diseases. It is the intricate interplay between these conditions, their associated outcomes, and the evolving treatment modalities that constitutes the primary emphasis of this Special Issue, titled "Advances in Ocular Surgery, Diseases and Eyesight”. This Special Issue will focus on current and future methods of surgical, pharmaceutical, or genetic therapeutic intervention in the treatment of ocular disease.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Backgroud: To analyze the factors associated with surgical outcomes after bilateral rectus recession (BLR) in children with intermittent exotropia (IXT). Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 125 patients who had all received preoperative patch treatment with a ≥1 year follow-up. The surgical outcomes were grouped as success (esodeviation ≤5 PD to exodeviation ≤10 PD) or failure (esodeviation >5 PD or exodeviation >10 PD) according to the angle of deviation at 1 year postoperatively. The patients’ magnitude of exodeviation, near and distant stereoacuity, and 3-mo patch responses were assessed. The factors associated with the surgical outcomes were determined using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: Of the 125 patients, 102 (81.6%) and 23 (18.4%) were assigned to the success and failure groups, respectively. According to the univariate analysis, the absence of anisometropia, a smaller preoperative near exodeviation, a better near stereopsis, a smaller magnitude of deviation on day 1 postoperatively, and response to patching were significantly associated with surgical success for IXT after 1 year. In the multivariate analysis, distant esotropic deviation on day 1 postoperatively and response to patching were the factors affecting successful surgical outcomes. Conclusions: Esotropic distant deviation on day 1 postoperatively is a prognostic factor for favorable surgical outcomes. Preoperative patching could be a factor influencing surgical success in children with IXT. Full article
