Journal of Ophthalmology, Vision Science and Ocular Therapy
Aim and Scope
The Journal of Ophthalmology, Vision Science and Ocular Therapy publishes original research, clinical studies, reviews, and technical reports that advance the understanding, prevention, and treatment of visual disorders and eye diseases. It seeks to integrate developments in vision science with innovations in clinical and surgical care.
Its scope reflects the need for a comprehensive approach to eye health, from basic research in ocular biology to the application of advanced treatments in clinical practice. The journal encourages submissions that evaluate new interventions, assess patient outcomes, or explore public health strategies for improving vision care.
Key areas of interest include:
- Clinical Ophthalmology: Cataract, glaucoma, corneal disorders, retinal diseases, uveitis, and ocular surface disorders.
- Surgical Techniques: Advances in cataract extraction, refractive surgery, corneal transplantation, and vitreoretinal procedures.
- Vision Science: Ocular anatomy and physiology, optics, colour vision, visual perception, and neuro-ophthalmology.
- Diagnostic Imaging: Optical coherence tomography (OCT), fundus photography, ultrasound, and emerging imaging modalities.
- Ocular Pharmacology and Therapy: Drug development, sustained-release systems, and treatments for infectious and inflammatory eye diseases.
- Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus: Early detection, treatment approaches, and long-term visual outcomes in children.
- Low Vision and Rehabilitation: Assistive devices, training programmes, and rehabilitation strategies for patients with vision loss.
- Teleophthalmology and Digital Tools: Remote diagnosis, screening programmes, and integration of AI in image analysis.
- Public Health and Eye Care Delivery: Screening initiatives, outreach programmes, and policy approaches to reducing preventable blindness.
The journal accepts both experimental and clinical research, as well as systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and case series. Submissions from different cultural and healthcare settings are encouraged, especially where they highlight innovative solutions in underserved regions.
Authors should clearly define research objectives, outline the methodology, and discuss the practical relevance of their findings for clinical practice or vision health policy.
