Archives of Ophthalmology
Archives of Ophthalmology
The Archives of Ophthalmology was a prominent peer-reviewed medical journal that focused on the field of ophthalmology, the branch of medicine and surgery that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders. The journal was known for publishing original research articles, reviews, and clinical studies that contributed significantly to the advancement of ophthalmic science and practice.
History[edit | edit source]
The journal was first established in 1869 under the name *Archives of Ophthalmology and Otology*. It was founded by renowned ophthalmologists Hermann Knapp and Salem H. Wales. In 1929, the journal was split into two separate publications, one focusing on ophthalmology and the other on otology, leading to the creation of the *Archives of Ophthalmology* as a distinct entity.
In 2013, the journal was renamed *JAMA Ophthalmology* to align with the branding of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) network of journals. This change was part of a broader effort to unify the JAMA family of journals under a common identity.
Scope and Content[edit | edit source]
The *Archives of Ophthalmology* covered a wide range of topics within the field of ophthalmology, including but not limited to:
- Retinal diseases

The journal published various types of articles, such as:

Impact and Influence[edit | edit source]
The *Archives of Ophthalmology* was highly regarded in the medical community for its rigorous peer-review process and its contribution to the dissemination of important ophthalmic research. It served as a valuable resource for ophthalmologists, researchers, and clinicians seeking to stay informed about the latest developments in eye care and treatment.
