Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the optical correction of vision, particularly myopia control and management. Studies investigate the effectiveness of various contact lens types, including orthokeratology and multifocal soft contact lenses, in slowing myopia progression and their impact on ocular parameters like axial length and corneal epithelial thickness. The journal also covers the diagnosis and management of corneal conditions, such as neovascularization, perforation, fungal keratitis, and dystrophy, often in the context of contact lens wear or post-surgical complications. Additionally, research explores intraocular pressure measurement techniques, ocular aberrations, and the use of advanced imaging and machine learning in predicting eye conditions.
