To mark the 100th anniversary of Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics (OPO), four past editors — Neil Charman, Bernard Gilmartin, Christine Dickinson, and David Elliott — along with the current editor, Mark Rosenfield, sat down for a special podcast to reflect on their experiences as editors.

OPO is the research journal of The College of Optometrists. It is read and cited around the world, and helps clinicians and educators stay up to date with the latest research findings on the development, use and restoration of vision.

In Part 1, each former editor discusses their time in the role, including how they left their mark on the publication and the challenges they faced.

In Part 2, the editors talk about what they would have done differently during their time in the role and offer insights into the current state of research and OPO.
