Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery is a growing ophthalmological discipline dedicated to the study and treatment of eyelid, lacrimal pathway, and orbital pathologies, as well as surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments for this anatomical region. The relationship between the periocular area and the critical sense of vision, as well as its impact on facial aesthetics, have made this discipline one of the fastest growing in recent years.
Research in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery is experiencing rapid growth, which is increasingly guiding our treatments towards personalized medicine. The use of minimally invasive surgeries supported by technologies such as surgical microscopes, endoscopes, neuro-navigators, research on biomaterials and disease biomarkers, and individualized treatments seeking to modify the course of diseases and potentially cure them have had a significant impact. The recent advances in bioinformatics and the emergence of artificial intelligence are also exerting their effects on this discipline, and this is only the beginning.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide an updated review of eyelid, lacrimal pathway, and ocular orbit pathologies, as well as aesthetic procedures regarding the periocular region.
