Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Retinal diseases are the leading causes of vision impairment and blindness. With early detection, most retinal diseases can be treated, while others can be controlled or slowed down to preserve, or even restore vision.
In recent decades, novel diagnostics and therapeutic approaches of retinal diseases have dramatically turned their approach upside down, providing a way for an earlier diagnosis and safer and more effective treatment.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of new diagnostics tools and therapeutic approaches in different retinal diseases together to provide the best evidence for proper perioperative and postoperative assessments useful to optimize the response to therapy.
We strive to create a holistic concept throughout the process of diagnosis and treatment based on an individualized and a standardized view, so that treatment of retinal diseases will hopefully not be a challenge in the future.
