International Journal of Ophthalmic Practice is a new peer-reviewed bi-monthly journal of ophthalmics. Unlike other journals in the field, International Journal of Ophthalmic Practice will:
- Focus on the role of nurses, orthoptists and other allied professions in ophthalmology
- Address topics such as clinical practice, research, issues of professional interest, policy, education and training
- Provide a forum for debate and a strong voice for nurses, orthoptists and allied professionals, working in primary and secondary ophthalmic care settings
- Promote a genuine international perspective on ophthalmic practice and encourage the sharing of best practice around the world.
The role of ophthalmic nurses, orthoptists and allied professionals in the ophthalmic team is a constantly developing one, as public and professional demands on the team change and evolve. International Journal of Ophthalmic Practice will provide these professionals a place to exchange ideas, innovations and experiences, and so promote development of the multidisciplinary team.
