Editorial

It is with great pride and anticipation that we present this issue of the Eastern India Zonal Ophthalmological Journal. In today’s era of rapid scientific advancement and technological innovation, the role of regional journals in disseminating knowledge, fostering academic dialogue, and promoting research excellence is indispensable.

In the ever-evolving field of ophthalmology, staying updated with new knowledge, techniques, and technologies is not merely desirable—it is essential. The vision of The Eastern Eye is to provide a platform that not only highlights the contributions of ophthalmic practice but also promotes the exchange of ideas, experiences, and innovations within the fraternity.

Beyond the dissemination of scientific research, The Eastern Eye Journal seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice, fostering reflective learning and skill development among practitioners at every stage of their professional journey. The pursuit of knowledge is a continuous process, and our commitment to enhancing the scientific acumen of ophthalmologists in Eastern India remains the driving force behind each publication. Every article, study, and review included in this journal is carefully curated with attention to scientific rigour, relevance, and practical application.

As we look ahead, we invite our members, researchers, and clinicians to contribute, engage, and collaborate actively. Through collective effort, scholarly dedication, and a shared vision, we can continue to strengthen scientific knowledge as well as the professional standing of ophthalmology research in Eastern India.

Together, let us move forward in illuminating the path of progress, research, and clinical excellence in ophthalmology.
