2020 will forever be marked as a year that brought with it an unprecedented number of challenges for the healthcare community. COVID-19 had monumental effects on all fields, including ophthalmology. Considering this we are truly thankful for all of the support we have received, despite the pressures brought about by the pandemic. We are very grateful to our Editorial and Advisory boards who have continued to offer their advice, to our authors for working with us to help publish their work, and to our readers for engaging with our content. The Editorial below has been authored by Ophthalmology and Therapy's EU Editor-in-Chief Professor Tariq Aslam. Professor Aslam writes about his aspirations for the healthcare and ophthalmology community in 2021, and how the journal hopes to play its part in facing these challenges.
