Vestnik oftalmologii

Vestnik oftalmologii (Russian: «Вестник офтальмологии») is a Russian medical journal dedicated to ophthalmology, the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. It holds the distinction of being the first ophthalmological journal in Russia, established in 1884 by Professor A. V. Khodin of the University of St. Vladimir. For its first twenty years the journal was published in Kiev under Khodin's editorship. In 1904, due to Khodin's illness, the editorial office was moved to Moscow. From 1904 to 1908 the editor was Professor A. A. Kryukov of Moscow University. The journal covers a broad range of topics: diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, visual hygiene, prevention of eye diseases, the history of Russian ophthalmology, the organization of ophthalmic care for the population, and issues of technical equipment. It regularly features contributions from practicing ophthalmic surgeons such as Yu. N. Yusuf, A. A. Kasyanov, and A. S. Vvedensky. Vestnik oftalmologii is abstracted and indexed in numerous international databases, including Excerpta Medica, Biological Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, Index Medicus, Current Work in the History of Medicine, Science Citation Index, Current Contents, Helminthological Abstracts, Index to Dental Literature, and Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory. Its ISSN is 0042-465X. The editor-in-chief is Dr. S. E. Avetisov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Director of the Research Institute of Eye Diseases.

Vestnik oftalmologii was founded in 1884 by Professor A. V. Khodin of the University of St. Vladimir, making it the first ophthalmological journal in Russia. For its first twenty years it was published in Kiev under Khodin's editorship. In 1904, owing to Khodin's illness, the editorial office was transferred to Moscow. From 1904 to 1908 the journal was edited by Professor A. A. Kryukov of Moscow University. Over the following decades the journal continued to serve as a central publication for Russian ophthalmology, covering clinical practice, research, and the history of the field. Today it remains active, with an editorial office in Moscow and an editor-in-chief who is a leading figure in Russian ophthalmology.
