眼科和生理光學(xué)研究的論文，要么涉及視覺科學(xué)的基本方面，要么涉及與驗光實踐和應(yīng)用相關(guān)的臨床和應(yīng)用問題。材料可以是實驗的，觀察的，理論的或歷史的性質(zhì)。雖然重點是對驗光師的重要事項，討論的許多主題是感興趣的視覺心理學(xué)家，生理學(xué)家，和其他有關(guān)發(fā)展，使用和恢復(fù)視力。基礎(chǔ)研究可能涉及視力的發(fā)展和使用。有關(guān)驗光及其相關(guān)儀器的實踐的文章是該雜志的主要組成部分，主題從眼鏡和隱形眼鏡的設(shè)計到眼疾和藥物的使用。重點討論了應(yīng)用視覺在驅(qū)動、光學(xué)儀器和視覺顯示等方面存在的問題。讀者群體:驗光師、視覺科學(xué)家、眼科醫(yī)生、視覺心理學(xué)家、物理學(xué)家、神經(jīng)科學(xué)家和醫(yī)學(xué)圖書館。

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics considers papers which deal either with basic aspects of visual science or with clinical and applied matters relevant to the practice and application of optometry. The material may be experimental, observational, theoretical or historical in nature. While emphasis is given to matters of importance to optometrists, many of the topics discussed are of interest to visual psychologists, physiologists, and others concerned with the development, use and restoration of vision. Basic studies might concern the development and use of vision. Articles dealing with the practice of optometry and its related instrumentation are major components of the Journal, topics ranging from the design of spectacle and contact lenses to ocular disease and the use of drugs. Emphasis is also given to problems in applied vision in such situations as driving, optical instrumentation and visual displays. Readership: optometrists, vision scientists, ophthalmologists, visual psychologists, physicists, neuroscientists and medical libraries.
