The Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology is the only scientific periodical publication of the Turkish Ophthalmological Association and has been published since January 1929. The Journal was first published in Turkish and French in an effort to bring Turkish ophthalmological research to the international scientific audience.

It also features review articles, editorial commentary, letters to the editor, educational contributions, and congress/meeting announcements.
