SLACK Incorporated, an independent STM publisher of leading health care journals, is pleased to announce the official launch of the new digital, open-access journal, Journal of Refractive Surgery Case Reports (JRS Case Reports). Edited by J. Bradley Randleman, MD, the quarterly, peer-reviewed Journal will include high-quality case reports that focus on research as related to the clinical practice of refractive surgery and lens-based procedures. The first issue will be published on June 25, 2021 on Journals.Healio.com.

Articles featured in the first issue will include:

        • Use of Adjustable Intraocular Lens After Cataract Surgery in a Patient with Post-LASIK Ectasia Stabilized With CXL
        • Retrieving an Incomplete Flap with a Femtosecond Laser in the Same Sitting

Associate editors for the Journal include esteemed physicians Francesco Carones, MD, Soosan Jacob, MS, FRCS, DNB, and Karolinne Rocha, MD, PhD.

Commenting on the Journal’s presence on Journals.Healio.com, Dr. Randleman said, “JRS Case Reports will provide authors around the globe with the opportunity to publish their best cases on a site that is renowned for disseminating essential scientific work. With contributions from the key thought leaders in the specialty, the Journal will quickly become a must-read for any physician interested in refractive surgery.”

A companion title to the highly ranked Journal of Refractive Surgery, also edited by Dr. Randleman, JRS Case Reports is the official open-access journal of the International Society of Refractive Surgery (ISRS), a partner of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

“I am pleased to see our new open-access journal present such interesting material, the kind of clinical scenarios ISRS members are always eager to learn from,” said ISRS President Renato Ambrosio, Jr. “I think any refractive or cataract surgeon will want to read these case reports, which can have a tremendous impact on our field.”

JRS Case Reports is dedicated to the exploration of individual patient cases describing complex diagnostic dilemmas and compelling surgical techniques. Detailed information for author submissions and article processing charges can be found at journals.healio.com/journal/jrscr
