Archives of Ophthalmology, along with JAMA and other Archives subspecialty journals, will participate in a consortium theme issue on diabetes/obesity in March 2009. Submissions of articles on diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, hypertension, vascular disease, and lipid disorders as they relate to ophthalmology will have the best chance for consideration for this theme issue. Please submit papers no later than November 1, 2008. All submissions will undergo our usual peer review.
