What makes this topic particularly timely is the rapid evolution of both imaging technologies and therapeutic research. As new treatments emerge, clinicians and researchers increasingly require reliable biomarkers that can capture disease progression and help evaluate treatment response. Imaging has become a crucial part of that conversation, offering a non-invasive way to visualise and quantify changes that were previously difficult to detect.
The publication of this review also highlights the growing scope of Neuroretina as a forum for research spanning neuro-ophthalmology, retinal disease and translational neuroscience. By bringing together clinical expertise and technological innovation, the journal continues to showcase work that advances our understanding of complex neurological and retinal disorders.
For readers interested in mitochondrial disease, retinal imaging or the future of precision ophthalmology, this article offers a valuable overview of a field where seeing more clearly may ultimately lead to better outcomes for patients.
