About the Journal

The Kenya Eye Health Journal (KEHJ) is an open access journal published by the OSK, with the aim of advancing research by all eye care practitioners and teams in Kenya. This inaugural edition of KEHJ was preceded by a baseline situation analysis to assess the need and feasibility of starting a scientific journal with OSK as the publisher. The analysis included consultations with OSK leadership, researchers, leaders in academia, experts in editorial and review processes and OSK members. Oral consultations were supplemented with sensitization via email and WhatsApp communications to eye health actors in Kenya. The main finding of the situation analysis was that there is both the need and the resources to publish the journal. 

The Kenya Eye Health Journal (KEHJ) aims to advance research by all eye health practitioners including ophthalmologists, ophthalmic clinical officers, optometrists, ophthalmic nurses, program managers and community-based workers. To achieve this aim, the authors are encouraged to submit of articles with focus on both clinical and public eye health. Communications to KEHJ should be addressed to:
