  The installation of forward proton detectors at the LHC will provide the
possibility to perform new high-precision measurements, opening a novel window
on physics beyond the Standard Model. We review recent simulations and
theoretical developments about the measurement of anomalous light-by-light
scattering. The search for this process is expected to provide bounds on a wide
range of new particles. Future perspectives for precision QED at the LHC are
also briefly discussed.
