History

The journal was established in 1911 as ''Optical News'', a medical and news publication of the New South Wales Institute of Ophthalmic Opticians. The journal was renamed to ''The Commonwealth Optometrist'' in 1918 after the founding of the Australian Optometrical Association in the same year. The journal was renamed to the ''Australasian Journal of Optometry'' in 1929, to the ''Australian Journal of Optometry'' in 1959, and to its current title in 1986. It became an exclusively scholarly journal when it stopped publishing news articles in 1979.
