Declining or Waning
- Traditional Imaging Techniques:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers focusing on older imaging modalities, as advancements in OCT and other novel imaging techniques gain prominence. - Basic Science Research:
A waning interest in basic science studies that do not directly translate into clinical applications, with a shift towards translational research that connects laboratory findings to patient care. - General Ophthalmology Topics:
Less emphasis on broader ophthalmology topics not specifically related to retinal diseases, as the journal narrows its focus to more specialized areas within retina. - Outdated Therapeutic Approaches:
Fewer studies on older treatment modalities that have been largely replaced by newer, more effective therapies, such as the decline in research on laser treatments for conditions like diabetic retinopathy.
