Special Issue on Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a term for a group of eye disorders which result in damage to the optic nerve. This is most often due to increased pressure in the eye. The disorders can be roughly divided into two main categories: "open-angle" and "closed-angle" (or "angle closure") glaucoma.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring glaucoma. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Primary glaucoma, secondary glaucoma, etc.
• Pathophysiology
• Signs, symptoms and causes
• Glaucoma medication
• Glaucoma surgery
• Glaucoma epidemiology
• New trends in glaucoma treatment

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal at Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue – Glaucoma” should be selected during your submission.
