Aims & Scope
Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (PO+S) aims to advance knowledge, clinical care, education, and innovation in paediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, ocular motility, paediatric vision, and related areas of eye care and vision science. The journal provides an open-access platform for rigorous, ethically conducted, and peer-reviewed work that contributes to the understanding, prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment of visual system diseases in children and ocular motor disorders in children and adults.
The journal welcomes clinical, translational, and basic-science submissions that are relevant to paediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, visual development, ocular motility, amblyopia, visual system disorders, and multidisciplinary aspects of paediatric vision care. PO+S also encourages submissions from specialties and fields that intersect with paediatric eye care and strabismus, including optometry, orthoptics, neurology, genetics, radiology, neurosurgery, pediatrics, developmental biology, imaging, rehabilitation, public health, education, health systems, and vision science.
PO+S has an international, multicultural, multilingual, and multidisciplinary outlook. The journal seeks to support contributions from diverse geographic, linguistic, cultural, and resource settings, recognizing that expertise in Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus exists throughout the world.
