Latest From Investigative Ophthalmology & Vision Science (IOVS)

Scope Statement

Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS), published online several times a month, is an official journal of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), an international organization whose purpose is to advance research worldwide into understanding the visual system and preventing, treating and curing its disorders. Included are original contributions that report clinical or laboratory hypothesis-based research with statistically valid results that clearly advance our knowledge of normal or abnormal processes impacting the visual system. For purely descriptive research, we will consider well-designed studies that provide novel or important insight into the structure and/or function of the visual system (normal or pathological). Subjects cover the 13 sections represented by ARVO’s membership and the 3 ARVO cross-sectional groups. Short updates on notable new developments in important research areas are also published, but only by invitation. Summaries of meetings/symposia and general review articles are not considered.
