Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Journal of Clinical Medicine’s Editorial team, We are delighted to present the Second Edition of the Special Issue “Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention of Glaucoma” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/X3WCT9P600).
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. It has been estimated that more than 70 million people are affected by the disease, with 8 million affected by bilateral blindness. Glaucoma is completely asymptomatic until the very advanced stages, and primary prevention is not feasible. Therefore, early diagnosis and early treatment are fundamental in preventing blindness.
Recent advances in technology have improved the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of glaucoma. Optical coherence tomography development, a structure–function approach, and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices are just a few examples of these advances.
This Special Issue is focused on all aspects related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of glaucoma. Authors are welcome to submit original, high-quality articles to contribute to the discussion in this field of research.
