Biochemical and Structural Aspects of Vision Disorders

Vision disorders encompass a wide spectrum of diseases affecting the ocular surface, retina, optic nerve, and visual pathways, and remain one of the leading causes of disabilityworldwide. Despite rapid advances in diagnostics and imaging, the biochemical andstructural mechanisms underlying visual dysfunction are still incompletely understood.Complex interactions between oxidative stress, inflammation, extracellular matrixremodeling, vascular dysregulation, and neurodegeneration contribute to tissue damage and vision loss. At the same time, modern molecular biology, proteomics, and imagingtechnologies have opened new avenues for studying structural changes at the cellular and subcellular levels. Understanding how biochemical processes translate into tissueremodeling and functional impairment is essential for identifying reliable biomarkers and developing mechanism-based therapeutic strategies.This Special Issue welcomes contributions that improve our understanding of thebiochemical and structural basis of vision disorders.Potential areas of interest may include, but are not limited to:• Molecular and cellular mechanisms of visual dysfunction• Structural remodeling in ocular and neuro-ophthalmic diseases• Oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue degeneration in the visual system• Imaging and molecular biomarkers of disease progression• Translational approaches linking biochemical alterations with therapeutic innovationAuthors are welcome to submit articles presenting original studies or literature review work. Please consult the journal's information regarding Article Types, Author Guidelines, and Publishing Fees, or direct any questions to the Editorial Office: abp@frontierspartnerships.org.Even though abstract submission is not mandatory, we encourage all interested researchers to submit a “manuscript summary” before submitting their article. Manuscript summaries do not have to coincide with the final abstract of the article.
