JAMA Ophthalmology —The Year in Review, 2020

2020 —that number has always been important in ophthalmology, representing normal visual acuity when denoted as 20/20 and being the value ophthalmologists strive to attain when treating eye diseases or preserving vision. Now, though, with the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) brought on b y the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), 2020 is a number that has much more relevance in medicine beyond normal visual acuity. Despite the many challenges in medicine in 2020, the year was associated with many important milestones for JAMA Ophthalmology. These miles tones again are due to the outstanding contributions of the authors, peer reviewers (for whom the authors and editors are most grateful), editors, and the editorial board and international advisory committee members as well as a superb editorial staff involved with the journal every day.
