This quality improvement study assessed how well observational studies published in three major ophthalmology journals (American Journal of Ophthalmology, JAMA Ophthalmology, and Ophthalmology) adhere to the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) checklist items.
Only the abstract was available for extraction; full-text data including sample size, specific adherence rates, and study-level findings could not be verified.
Clinicians and researchers submitting observational studies to ophthalmology journals should proactively use the STROBE checklist to improve reporting quality and transparency.
