What Indian Journal of Ophthalmology does

The Indian Journal of Ophthalmology is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal publishing clinical, experimental, and review research in ophthalmology — covering cataract, refractive surgery, glaucoma, retina, cornea, pediatric ophthalmology, and ocular oncology. It serves practicing ophthalmologists, medical researchers and academics, and medical libraries and institutions, with readership and authorship spanning India and global markets. The journal carries ISSN 0301-4738 (print) and 1998-3689 (online), reports a 2024/2025 Impact Factor of 2.2, and is currently publishing Volume 74, Issue 7 (July 2026) under Editor-in-Chief Prof Dr M. Vanathi.

The journal is published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. under its Lippincott Williams & Wilkins imprint and distributed exclusively through Wolters Kluwer's Ovid digital research platform, which provides web-based article access, PDF downloads, search and browse functionality, and electronic table-of-contents (eTOC) alerts to institutional and individual subscribers. Manuscript submission runs on Paperpal's hosted submission system, and the journal's content reaches readers globally via Ovid's institutional licensing arrangements with hospitals, universities, and research organizations.

The business model is subscription-based recurring revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is administered inside Wolters Kluwer's broader Ovid institutional licensing framework; supplementary monetization channels include article processing charges, reprints, and pay-per-view downloads typical of mid-tier specialty journals. The journal has no standalone corporate entity, funding structure, or financial disclosure of its own; all commercial and operational infrastructure sits within Wolters Kluwer Health, a subsidiary of Dutch-listed Wolters Kluwer N.V.
