Trabecular Meshwork in Health and Disease

Edited by Neeru A. Vallabh, Carl Sheridan, Colin E. Willoughby The trabecular meshwork is a vital ocular structure that regulates intra-ocular pressure (IOP). Given IOP is currently the only modifiable risk factor for glaucoma, there is intense interest in the pathophysiology of IOP and the role of the trabecular meshwork. BMJ Open Ophthalmology is calling for submissions on the trabecular meshwork in health and disease, covering molecular biology, therapeutic strategies, impact of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), and encompassing review articles and original research across basic, translational, and clinical science. Please find the full details here. Submissions Open | Submission Deadline: 4th March 2025

Innovations in Ophthalmology: Integrating AI, Imaging, and Omics

Edited by Kai Jin, Danli Shi, Jiong Zhang Advancements in ophthalmic imaging, artificial intelligence, multi-omics, and precision medicine are rapidly transforming the landscape of ophthalmology. BMJ Open Ophthalmology is calling for submissions on technological advancements, clinical applications and ethical considerations, exploring the integration of advanced imaging techniques, AI algorithms, omics approaches (including genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), and the principles of precision medicine in ophthalmology. Please find the full details here. Submissions Open | Submission Deadline: 31st December 2024

Lipids in Retinal Health and Disease

Edited by Zhongjie Fu, Chuck T. Chen, Michael Landowski, Qian Li Dyslipidaemia is associated with many retinal metabolic diseases during development and aging. However, the role of lipids in retinal health is not well known. BMJ Open Ophthalmology is calling for submissions on retinal lipid biology including lipid alterations and dyslipidaemia-associated metabolic changes (glucose, amino acid) in retinal diseases, targeting metabolism for disease prevention and treatment. Please find the full details here. Submissions Open | Submission Deadline: 28th December 2024

Imaging and Biomarkers in Ophthalmology

Edited by Vito Romano, Mariantonia Ferrara, Jingjing Huang Ophthalmic imaging methods are crucial for diagnosing and managing various eye pathologies, enabling improved detection and characterization of structural and functional changes in the eye. The application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning in ophthalmic imaging opens up new possibilities for screening, diagnosis, monitoring, and predicting the progression of ocular conditions. This Topic Collection includes original research on various ophthalmic imaging methods, biomarkers and the use of AI, and Deep Learning techniques in both anterior and posterior segments of the eye.

Slowing the Progression of Myopia

Edited by Ramesh Kekunnaya, Pavan Kumar Verkicharla The increasing prevalence of myopia, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has become a significant public health concern. This Topic Collection in BMJ Open Ophthalmology aims to address myopia progression with original research on recent advances in myopia interventions to arrest the axial elongation, including pharmacological, optical, contact lenses and behavioural change approaches.
