The British Journal of Ophthalmology (BJO) is an international peer-reviewed journal for ophthalmologists and visual science specialists describing clinical investigations,
clinical observations, and clinically relevant laboratory investigations related to ophthalmology. Main features include articles on both clinical and laboratory sciences,
a series of articles in the form of perspectives, providing brief up to the minute reviews and commentaries - an occasional series challenging current dogma and opinion.
