Professor Mark Rosenfield has been appointed editor in chief of the College of Optometrist’s Ophthalmic & Physiological Optics (OPO) research journal.
The State University of New York professor succeeded Professor David Elliott, who has stepped down after 11 years in the role. Professor Rosenfield’s first issue will be published in September.
Ian Humphreys, CEO of the College of Optometrists, said: ‘At a time when both the World Health Organization and UN General Assembly have identified the need for increased investment in eye health research, [Professor Rosenfield’s] vital insight will help us ensure that we continue to make OPO a home for high quality, original research in vision science and optometry. I also want to thank and acknowledge Professor Elliott for his invaluable work in transforming OPO into the leading international optometry research journal.’
