CJO

The Canadian Journal of Optometry is CAO’s premier publication, featuring current optometric research, insightful clinical practice articles, case studies and practice management tips.  The CJO is in the process of moving to the University of Waterloo's Open Journal System to encourage wider readership.  While making the transition, CJO issues will continue to be available on this page until the end of April.
