Congratulations to the British Journal of Ophthalmology ======================================================= * Bruce Spivey * Vision The numbers of consistently first rate journals that survive for a century are few. The numbers of century survivors who have a true international perspective, editorial board and contributing authors are fewer still when they reach 100 years of publication. Such is the *British Journal of Ophthalmology*. This journal is long recognised for its editorial integrity, its international leadership and contributors, and its wide-ranging content of the full scope of ophthalmology. I congratulate the editors, the contributors, the staff and all the predecessors who have made this an outstanding contributor to ophthalmic education and tradition. ## Footnotes * Competing interests None declared. * Provenance and peer review Commissioned; internally peer reviewed.
