Abstract
Recent advances in corneal practice & research have largely been centered around interests concerning the endothelial keratoplasty, corneal biomechanics and collagen cross linking of the corneal stroma. This special issue of OPEN OPHTHALMOLOGY JOURNAL addresses these interests with an elaboration of the outcomes of endothelial keratoplasty procedures of Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) and Pre-Descemet’s Endothelial Keratoplasty (PDEK), a perspective on future potent therapies for Fuch's Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD), a comprehensive review on corneal biomechanics in LASIK and Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) and on practical applications of collagen cross linking along with the outcomes of Lasik Xtra.
期刊介绍:
The Open Ophthalmology Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes research articles, reviews/mini-reviews, letters and guest edited single topic issues in all important areas of experimental and clinical research in ophthalmology, including use of ophthalmological therapies, devices and surgical techniques. The Open Ophthalmology Journal, a peer-reviewed journal, is an important and reliable source of current information on developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality papers rapidly and making them freely available to researchers worldwide.
