Special Issue "Metabolomics of the Eye and Adnexa" is now open for submission

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce this upcoming Special Issue of Metabolites, titled “Metabolomics of the Eye and Adnexa”. Metabolomics is a field of science that uses numerous approaches to identify changes in metabolite profiles and levels to establish and explore associations between them and various ocular pathologies, such as dry eye, glaucoma, keratoconus, or age-related macular degeneration. Identifying biomarkers using metabolomic approaches that indicate the early stages of ocular diseases will result in the earlier diagnosis and treatment of these ocular diseases. Understanding the complex relationship between metabolism and ocular diseases is critical in developing novel therapeutic remedies to slow down or reverse the course of these life-altering disorders, which can lead to blindness. This Special Issue will delve into the intricate metabolic changes in ocular diseases. We warmly welcome submissions of both basic science and clinical reports, promoting a comprehensive exploration of this critical subject. Moreover, we aim to present cutting-edge reviews and original articles exploring the onset and progression of metabolic disorders potentially involving the eye and adnexa.
