Journal of Optometry (J Optom) is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal of the Spanish General Council of Optometry, dedicated to advancing research and knowledge in optometry, vision science, and clinically relevant eye and vision research.
The journal provides an international forum for optometrists, ophthalmologists, vision scientists, researchers and other eye-care professionals, publishing high-quality clinical, experimental, epidemiological and translational research.
The scope of Journal of Optometry includes, but is not limited to:
- Optometry and clinical vision science
- Refractive errors, myopia and myopia management
- Contact lenses and orthokeratology
- Cornea, ocular surface and tear film
- Binocular vision, accommodation and oculomotor function
- Visual perception, visual performance and visual function
- Pediatric and developmental vision
- Low vision and vision rehabilitation
- Ocular health and conditions relevant to optometric and vision care
- Ocular imaging, diagnostics and visual assessment
- Epidemiology, public health, access to eye care and models of eye-care delivery
- Optical and ophthalmic technologies, instrumentation and diagnostic methods
- Artificial intelligence, data science and digital technologies applied to vision research and eye care
Journal of Optometry particularly welcomes scientifically rigorous research that advances knowledge of visual and ocular function, improves clinical assessment and management, evaluates emerging technologies, or contributes to better eye and vision care.
