Metabolic and Pediatric Ophthalmology (MPO)

Metabolic and Pediatric Ophthalmology is a specialized medical journal focusing on the relationship between metabolic disorders and eye diseases, particularly in children. The journal later expanded its scope under the title Metabolic, Pediatric and Systemic Ophthalmology, reflecting a broader interdisciplinary approach linking ophthalmology with systemic and metabolic medicine. The journal published clinical research, experimental studies, and case reports addressing ocular complications caused by metabolic diseases such as diabetes, inherited metabolic disorders, and biochemical abnormalities. A strong emphasis was placed on pediatric eye conditions, including congenital disorders, retinal abnormalities, cataracts in childhood, and genetic syndromes affecting vision. It served as an important platform for collaboration between ophthalmologists, pediatricians, endocrinologists, and researchers in metabolic medicine. Many articles focused on how systemic diseases influence ocular health and visual development in children. Established in 1979, the journal played a significant role during the early expansion of subspecialty ophthalmology research in the late 20th century. It was officially associated with international ophthalmology societies and was widely indexed in medical databases such as MEDLINE and Scopus. Over time, the journal evolved and eventually became part of broader ophthalmology publishing streams.
