Frontiers in Ophthalmology is a multidisciplinary journal that focuses on advancing knowledge and understanding of eye diseases and disorders, as well as their diagnosis and management.

Led by Field Chief Editor Andrew Lee from Houston Methodist Hospital, Frontiers in Ophthalmology welcomes research contributions in various domains of ophthalmology, optometry, and vision science, which bridge the gap between basic and clinical research. Topics include, but are not limited to:

corneal and ocular surface diseases
disease mechanisms and etiologies
glaucoma
neuro-ophthalmology
ocular inflammation
ocular surgery
pediatric ophthalmology
randomized clinical trials
real-life clinical studies
retinal diseases
therapeutic targets

The journal supports the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being by focusing on research and knowledge in ophthalmology, optometry, and vision science. This directly contributes to improving global health and well-being by addressing the challenges of vision impairment and eye diseases, which affect 2.2 billion people worldwide.

Through a rigorous evaluation process and the publication of significant research, Frontiers in Ophthalmology supports the development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools, surgical innovations, and disease-tailored treatments. This aligns with SDG 3's target of ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages. By fostering translational research and promoting ophthalmic clinical care worldwide, the journal contributes to the global effort to reduce the burden of vision impairment and improve overall health and well-being.

Studies that primarily investigate mild ocular conditions, non-ophthalmic drug research, general microbiome research without a fundamental basis in eye health, and topics that are only tangentially related to the core principles of ophthalmology are not suitable for publication in this journal.

Frontiers in Ophthalmology is committed to advancing developments in the field of ophthalmology by allowing unrestricted access to articles and communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future.
