INTRODUCTION Articles are generally by invitation and written by leading experts with an appeal not only to ophthalmologists and vision researchers but also to those interested in molecular biology, neuroscience, physiology and genetics. The journal covers all aspects of research on the eye, including topics pertaining to the retina, pigment epithelial layer, cornea, tears, lacrimal glands, aqueous humour, iris, ciliary body, trabeculum, lens, vitreous humour and diseases such as dry-eye, inflammation, keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, glaucoma, diabetes, age-related macular degeneration and cataract. The primary aim of PRER is to highlight and focus on a particular research topic of current high interest. Articles are by definition extensive being at least 15 printed pages. Articles in PRER are generally overview-type articles concentrating on an area of the expertise of the author/authors. Articles might include important and new developments in a field, new theories and new views or twists on standard subjects which could point the way to further exciting research in the concluding "Future Directions" section of the article Articles can include unpublished data with appropriate necessary information. Authors are encouraged to discuss the subject matter in a manner that is not always possible in standard scientific publications, theorizing, philosophising and summarizing if necessary. It is to remembered, however, that the authors should highlight critical contributions from all laboratories, not only their own. Articles are, by definition, scholarly and authoritative yet "reader friendly". They should be accessible and understandable to investigators in other research areas. To achieve this, authors are encouraged to include appropriate diagrams, figures and cartoons. Cited references should be reasonable in number and selective.

(http://web.sfn.org/content/AboutSfN1/Guidlines/guidelines.pdf) Declaration of interest All authors must disclose any financial and personal relationships with other people or organizations that could inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential competing interests include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors must disclose any interests in two places: 1. A summary declaration of interest statement in the title page file (if double anonymized) or the manuscript file (if single anonymized). If there are no interests to declare then please state this: 'Declarations of interest: none'. 2. Detailed disclosures as part of a separate Declaration of Interest form, which forms part of the journal's official records. It is important for potential interests to be declared in both places and that the information matches. More information. Submission declaration and verification Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically without the written consent of the copyright- holder. To verify originality, your article may be checked by the originality detection service Crossref Similarity Check. Preprints Please note that preprints can be shared anywhere at any time, in line with Elsevier's sharing policy. Sharing your preprints e.g. on a preprint server will not count as prior publication (see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for more information). Use of inclusive language Inclusive language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or health
