About this Research Topic
Furthermore, clinical research in ophthalmology is increasingly adopting a more standardized and systematic approach. This evolution is crucial for ensuring the reproducibility and reliability of research findings, thereby enhancing their application in clinical practice. However, these advancements are accompanied by complex ethical challenges, such as issues related to patient consent, data privacy, and the equitable distribution of cutting-edge treatments. Addressing these ethical concerns is essential for the continued advancement of clinical research on eye diseases.
This Research Topic aims to provide a comprehensive platform for exploring and disseminating the latest advancements and future directions in the clinical research of eye diseases. Our goal is to foster further discussion and collaboration among researchers, driving the field forward.
We invite submissions of original research, methods, reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives, clinical trials, and brief research reports. We specifically encourage the submission of exceptional work that has not been previously published or is not currently being reviewed by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences. We encourage investigators to focus on novel approaches and applications in clinical research, including new interpretations and methodologies, biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis, and the integration of artificial intelligence with clinical research. The specific potential areas of clinical research include, but are not limited to:
• Cornea and external disease
• Cataract and refractive surgery
• Glaucoma
• Retinal disease
• Ocular immunology and uveitis
• Neuro-ophthalmology
• Pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus
• Ocular oncology
• Oculoplastic and orbital surgery
• Refractive error and visual rehabilitation
• Artificial intelligence in ophthalmology
• Tele-ophthalmology
• Ophthalmic nursing
Keywords: new concept, advance, future trend, clinical research, eye disease
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements.
