Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to present a Topical Collection on the topic of “Advances in Cornea, Cataract, and Refractive Surgery”

The latest technological developments and advanced surgical techniques have radically changed the daily practice of eye surgeons, with new treatment options making surgery safer, faster, and more precise. The advent of new diagnostic tools especially in the anterior segment enables better patient management and precise monitoring of disease progression, leading to an improvement in postoperative surgical outcomes.

This Topical Collection is a multidisciplinary forum on the role of diagnostic and surgical procedures in this subfield of ophthalmology.

The published papers will describe new developments in these areas. This Topical Collection accepts high-quality articles containing original research results, as well as review articles of exceptional merit.

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 collection 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. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.

Background: The aim of the study was to compare macular thickness behavior and clinical outcomes after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) versus phacoemulsification conventional surgery (PCS). Methods: Macular Optical Coherence Tomography OCT was analyzed in 42 patients preoperatively, 1 day, 12 days, 4 weeks and 6 weeks postoperatively according to the 9-field Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) grid. Clinical findings were collected in both the FLACS group and the PCS group. Results: There was no significant difference in macular thickness between the FLACS and PCS groups (p > 0.05). However, from postoperative day 12 onwards, there was a significant increase in macular thickness observed in both groups (p < 0.001). In the FLACS group, a significant increase in visual acuity was observed on the first postoperative day, as compared to the PCS group (p = 0.006). Conclusions: The use of a low-energy high-frequency femtosecond laser has potentially no effect on postoperative macular thickness. In the FLACS group, visual rehabilitation was significantly faster as compared to the PCS group. No complications occurred intraoperatively in either group. Full article

We aimed to describe the use of topical ascorbic acid (AA) in a patient with reduced endothelial cells density (ECD) who was scheduled for phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation. A 28-year-old woman presenting with dry eye and reduced ECD would like to have her high myopia (spherical equivalence >−15.0 D) corrected. The procedure of laser refractive surgery or even pIOL was not indicated for the reduced ECD of 1865/mm2 in the right eye and 2188/mm2 in the left eye, as well as level 3 dry eye. Fortunately, the ECD increased to 3144/mm2 in the right eye and 2538/mm2 in the left eye after topical AA was prescribed for one year preoperatively and one month postoperatively, with concomitant improvement of dry eye to level 1. Finally, bilateral pIOL implantation was performed smoothly and no sign of corneal decompensation was found postoperatively. Three months postoperatively, the ECD showed a satisfactory level of 2983/mm2 in the right eye and 3003/mm2 in the left eye. In conclusion, topical AA instillation might increase and maintain the density of central human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) even after pIOL implantation. Full article
