Special Issue Information
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 develo** 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.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
