Ophthalmology
Journal of The American Academy of Ophthalmology
Welcome to the online submission and editorial system for Ophthalmology.
Please see “Notes” and Hints below before attempting to login and click on System Requirements for important technical information.

Ophthalmology, the official journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, publishes original, peer-reviewed reports of research in ophthalmology, including basic science investigations and clinical studies. Topics include new diagnostic and surgical techniques, treatment methods, instrument updates, the latest drug findings, results of clinical trials, and research findings. Ophthalmology also publishes major reviews of specific topics by acknowledged authorities.

The objective of the American Academy of Ophthalmology in publishing Ophthalmology is to provide opportunities for the free exchange of ideas and information.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology accepts no responsibility for any statements published in Ophthalmology. These statements are to be attributed solely to their authors and are not, by the fact of their publication in Ophthalmology or ownership of copyright, necessarily those of the Academy or Ophthalmology or indicative of Academy views or policy or editorial concurrence.


Notes
We strongly urge authors to review the Guide for Authors, which replaces our old "Instructions for Authors". This guide outlines the specific requirements for the electronic submission of manuscripts to Ophthalmology and is presented in a step-by-step format with links to forms and additional information. Likewise, reviewers should refer to the Guide for Reviewers, which is also available. Both are available for use online and in PDF format if you prefer to print them out and keep them in a file for quick reference. The tutorials for authors and reviewers are very generic programs, which give the mechanics of working on the system but the requirements used are not accurate for this journal.

For additional questions on the submission and review process please contact the Editorial Office. For technical problems/questions, please contact either Author Support or Reviewer Support.

An email was sent to anyone who we had an active email address for, and who reviewed or authored within the last 3 years. If you received such an email go directly to "repeat users". If you didn’t, go to "first time users".
