BMC Ophthalmology is calling for submissions to our Collection on Pediatric eye screening.

Pediatric eye screening plays a pivotal role in the early detection and management of visual disorders in children, including amblyopia, refractive errors, and strabismus. Timely identification of these conditions is essential for preventing long-term visual impairment and supporting optimal visual development during critical growth periods.

Recent research has explored the impact of early screening on educational outcomes, the cost-effectiveness of different screening models, and the integration of screening programs into primary care and school settings. Emerging studies are also investigating telemedicine approaches, artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostics, and community-based interventions to expand reach and equity.

The aim of this Collection is to highlight research that addresses the clinical, technological, and public health dimensions of pediatric eye screening. Therefore, this Collection welcomes research articles that include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• Screening methods and protocols for detecting visual disorders in children
• Implementation strategies and program evaluation in diverse settings
• Outcomes of early detection and intervention on visual and developmental health
• Innovations in screening technology, including AI and telemedicine
• Comparative studies of screening approaches and cost-effectiveness

All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to collections and special issues, are assessed in line with our editorial policies and the journal’s peer-review process. Reviewers and editors are required to declare competing interests and can be excluded from the peer review process if a competing interest exists.

BMC Ophthalmology is calling for submissions to our Collection on Secondary intraocular lens implantations.

Secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is a critical procedure for restoring vision in patients who lack adequate capsular support or have experienced complications following primary cataract surgery. These interventions are essential for managing aphakia and improving visual outcomes in complex cases, including trauma, surgical complications, or congenital anomalies.

Advancements in surgical techniques and IOL design have expanded the options for secondary implantation, including scleral-fixated, iris-fixated, and anterior chamber lenses. Understanding the indications, outcomes, and complications associated with these procedures is vital for optimizing patient care and guiding clinical decision-making.

Recent studies have explored the long-term safety and efficacy of various fixation methods and the impact of secondary IOLs on quality of life. Additionally, emerging research is investigating novel biomaterials, minimally invasive approaches, and postoperative management strategies to reduce complications such as IOL dislocation, glaucoma, and cystoid macular edema.

The aim of this Collection is to showcase research that investigates the surgical, clinical, and technological dimensions of secondary IOL implantation. Therefore, this Collection welcomes research articles that include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Indications and patient selection for secondary IOL implantation

Surgical techniques and fixation methods

Postoperative outcomes and complication management

Innovations in IOL design and biomaterials

Comparative studies of secondary IOL approaches
