| Abstract | It is our great pleasure to introduce a new publication devoted exclusively to diseases of the posterior segment of the eye International Journal of Retina and Vitreous (IJRV). The launch of this new journal is the natural outgrowth of several recent macro trends in our specialty. Since its creation as a subspecialty more than 50 years ago [1], the field of retina-vitreous has undergone more revolutionary changes in the past decade than any other in medicine. Our ability to not only diagnose diseases with incredible accuracy in the office with advanced multimodal imaging, but also our improvement in the ability to treat diseases in both the office and the operating room is truly remarkable. In this context, the increase in the numbers of specialists and researchers concentrating on the posterior segment has generated a growing number of scientific articles in this field. In 2013 alone more than 3000 articles were published related to retinal research. Wide dissemination of knowledge permits both further scientific gains and practical clinical results and this progression exemplifies the niche of journal like IJRV. The goal of IJRV is to provide up-to-date, accurate, and easily understandable information to our readership and to contribute to the body of scholarly work in the area of retina and vitreous. The journal will present original articles on new approaches to diagnosis and treatment that may impact clinical practice. As part of this vision, our aim is for IJRV to focus on articles that directly impact the clinician’s ability to treat patients, and will include special topics of interest such as imaging of the retina, choroid and vitreous especially innovations in optical coherence tomography (OCT) and other imaging systems, small-gauge vitrectomy, retinal detachment repair, chromovitrectomy, electroretinography, microperimetry, other functional tests, intraocular tumors, retinal pharmacotherapy & drug delivery, diabetic retinopathy & other vascular diseases and age-related macular degeneration & other macular entities [2–5]. |
