AJO Announcement
Dear Dr. Weizhong Lan,
We are pleased to announce that AJO (American Journal of Ophthalmology) will be publishing a special issue in the year 2024, dedicated to the 2024 International Myopia Conference. As a leading publication in the field of ophthalmology that welcomes the submission of original, previously unpublished manuscripts directed to ophthalmologists and visual science specialists, AJO recognizes the significance and impact of this worldwide event and aims to contribute to its success through this special edition.
This special issue will primarily consist of abstracts that have been accepted by the 2024 IMC. We believe that incorporating these abstracts will enrich the content of the special issue, providing our readers with cutting-edge research and insights into the field of myopia.
Furthermore, we would like to clarify that while abstracts selected during the 2024 IMC are eligible for consideration, their inclusion in the special issue is not guaranteed. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process conducted by AJO’s expert panel. The final decision on acceptance and publication will be made solely by AJO, and the results will be publicly announced.
AJO remains committed to promoting advancements and breakthroughs in ophthalmology, and we look forward to the success of the 2024 IMC and the upcoming special issue. We encourage researchers and practitioners to actively participate in the 2024 IMC and submit their abstracts for potential inclusion in this prestigious publication.
Thank you,
Editor in Chief, American Journal of Ophthalmology
