Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, ophthalmology has been the object of relevant innovations in diagnostics. In former times, diagnosis of eye diseases was based on photography, microscopy, automated perimetry, and standard ultrasound techniques. Today, several new technologies are clinically available, including, amongst others, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and angioOCT, several instruments to classify dry eye disease, different types of topographers, aberrometers and analyzers of the anterior chamber, confocal microscopy, ultrasound biomicroscopy, and technologies that are starting to integrate morphology and function in glaucoma. The large amount of data collected by these instruments frequently open the access to analyses performed by artificial intelligence. The use of these innovative devices has enlarged our diagnostic abilities, allowing an earlier detection of eye diseases and the possibility to diagnose the earliest progressions. Yet some clinical characteristics (including long-term usefulness, i.e., the ability of these instruments to improve the vision-related quality of life of our patients) still need to be fully elucidated.
In this Special Issue, we are looking for research papers and review articles, including new findings in the fields of diagnosis of eye diseases using high-tech devices. Our goal is to address, amongst others, diagnostic imaging (optical diagnosis), molecular pathology diagnosis (biomarkers), and artificial intelligence diagnosis.

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. Diagnostics 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.
