May 19, 2026

Dr. Joseph Carroll, Richard O. Schultz, MD / Ruth Works Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, has been elected Editor-in-Chief of Translational Vision Science & Technology (TVST), an official journal of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO). Dr. Carroll will serve a 5-year term beginning January 1, 2028.

ARVO is a leader in vision research, and the largest eye and vision research organization in the world with more than 11,500 members representing over 75 countries. TVST is one of three peer-reviewed, open-access ARVO journals, emphasizing multidisciplinary research that bridges the gap between basic research and clinical care.

“Dr. Joseph Carroll is a pillar of the MCW research and innovation community and the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences,” says Vinay Kumar Aakalu, MD, MPH, chair for the department of ophthalmology & visual sciences. “Aside from his outstanding research contributions, he has been an international vision science leader for many years. Joe is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, the flagship journal of ARVO. His continual leadership has now been recognized again with his election as Editor-in-Chief of TVST, the premier translational research journal for ophthalmology. The Department of Ophthalmology is incredibly grateful to Dr. Carroll and proud of this latest accomplishment.”

Dr. Carroll’s current term as Editor-in-Chief for ARVO’s Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, a publication that emphasizes clinical and laboratory hypothesis-based research, began in January 2023. Dr. Carroll will be the first person to have served as Editor-in-Chief for more than one ARVO journal. Learn more about ARVO’s collection of journals.
