Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This year, we will be celebrating 75 years of intraocular lenses, first implanted by Sir Harold Ridley in November 1949. Cataract surgery, the most common surgical procedure in medicine, is still rapidly evolving and new surgical technologies and techniques continuously emerge. The advanced optics of premium lenses not only improve patients’ quality of vision but also their quality of life and spectacle independence. Laser technology advances the accuracy and safety of refractive surgery as well as the efficacy and quality of cataract surgery. Artificial intelligence introduces a new line of formulae with unprecedently accurate IOL power calculation. Modern technologies, such as the new generations of OCT, have revolutionized anterior segment imaging, the accuracy of intraocular measurement, and the quality of corneal topographical analysis. Cataract surgery is now considered a refractive procedure, using a variety of multifocal lenses. Refractive surgery extends beyond laser vision correction and lens implant surgery—the use of phakic and aphakic lenses is constantly increasing. The holy grail of effective accommodative lenses is, hopefully, around the corner, and we expect major developments in the near future.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide readers with the newest developments and current knowledge in cataract and refractive surgery. Original research, clinical experiences, and comprehensive reviews related to (but not limited to) the suggested topics are welcomed.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Prof. Dr. Ehud I. Assia

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
