文獻眼科是國際眼科臨床電生理學會的官方出版物。該雜志的目的是促進對臨床視覺電生理學的理解和應用。文獻眼科將發表綜述性研究論文、技術說明、簡要報告和案例研究，向讀者介紹與視覺電生理相關的基礎和臨床科學，以及改善患者視覺電生理診斷和臨床管理的方法。研究可能涉及動物或人類。在這兩種情況下，必須采取適當的照顧，以遵循《赫爾辛基人類主題宣言》或適當的人道動物照顧標準(例如關于動物照顧和使用的ARVO標準)。

Documenta Ophthalmologica is an official publication of the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision. The purpose of the journal is to promote the understanding and application of clinical electrophysiology of vision. Documenta Ophthalmologica will publish reviews research articles technical notes brief reports and case studies which inform the readers about basic and clinical sciences related to visual electrodiagnosis and means to improve diagnosis and clinical management of patients using visual electrophysiology. Studies may involve animals or humans. In either case appropriate care must be taken to follow the Declaration of Helsinki for human subject or appropriate humane standards of animal care (e.g. the ARVO standards on Animal Care and Use).
