Advances in the field of ophthalmology are rapid and ever-increasing. It is impossible to cover all advances occurring every year in a small volume. Therefore, like previous series, Recent Advances of Ophthalmology–11 contains some selected chapters on glaucoma, lens, retina, and systemic diseases. Approximately 50% of chapters deal with diseases of the retina, some are common and some rare. Two out of three editorials are on retina. Retinopathy of prematurity, macular hole, macular dystrophy, central serous chorioretinopathy, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and retinal vascular occlusion are challenging problems. They may cause loss of vision if not managed properly.
