Abstract
The eye is an extension of the central nervous system (CNS) and degenerative diseases of the retina and optic nerve can lead to progressive loss of vision. The causes of degeneration are different and can overlap between genetic predisposition, environmental factors, metabolic alterations, and inflammatory processes. New diagnostic methods and biomarkers are needed to examine and identify the role of neuroinflammation in the degenerative diseases affecting the visual system, not only to aid early diagnosis but also to monitor neuroprotective treatments. The purpose of the present Research Topic was to publish new research describing potential new advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and pathological understanding of conditions that possess inflammatory components affecting the eye and the visual central nervous system.
