Dear IJRetina readers,

We are pleased to present the latest issue of IJRetina with a collection of impactful studies and case reports that reflect the rapidly evolving landscape of ophthalmology and vision science. These papers explore innovations in diagnostic techniques, therapeutic interventions, and our understanding of disease pathophysiology—particularly within the realm of retinal health.

Metabolic disorders continue to play a central role in retinal disease progression. The study on Selenium Supplementation Attenuates High Fructose Corn Syrup-Induced Retinal Damage in Rats offers compelling evidence on the protective potential of antioxidants in preventing diet-induced retinal damage. Complementing this, the investigation into the Correlation Between Glycaemic Conditions With Sirt-1 Gene Expression Levels In The Progression Of Diabetic Retinopathy adds molecular depth, highlighting the intricate links between systemic metabolic control and retinal health.

On the diagnostic front, the integration of technology takes center stage with The Use of Artificial Intelligence for Diagnosing Retinopathy of Prematurity. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in clinical practice, such reviews underscore both the promise and the necessary caution in deploying machine learning tools in vulnerable populations.

Finally, understanding patient outcomes remains critical. The study on The Demographic Profile, Etiology, and Outcomes of Acute Postoperative Endophthalmitis provides valuable epidemiological insights that can guide both preventive and interventional strategies in post-surgical care.

Together, these contributions demonstrate a commitment to integrating clinical innovation with rigorous evidence.

This issue also marks a significant transition for our journal. We bid farewell to our esteemed Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Nadia Artha Dewi, whose visionary leadership and unwavering dedication have shaped the journal into a trusted source of ophthalmic knowledge. We are deeply grateful for dr Nadia’s contributions and wish her continued success in their future endeavors. At the same time, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Ratu Puri Paramita Sastradiwirja as the new Editor-in-Chief to bring fresh perspectives and a forward-looking vision that will undoubtedly guide the journal into its next chapter of growth and excellence.
