Dear Türkiye ophthalmic colleagues, and the authors and reviewers of IJO:

First of all, on behalf of IJO Press, I would like to express my deep condolences to you and your family. Hearing the news that your normal life, work and safety has been seriously affected by the big earthquake in Türkiye. I sincerely hope that you and your family are safe and sound. In order to express our concern and gratitude to the ophthalmic colleagues in Türkiye, especially the authors, readers, and reviewers of IJO, IJO Press decide to waive the article processing charge (APC) of the high-quality research papers submitted by authors from Türkiye in the year of 2023. Hope you will get through the difficulties, rebuild the homeland, and regain the normal life and work at an early day.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours,

Prof. Xiu-Wen Hu
