The journal was established in New York in 1869 as the Archives of Ophthalmology and Otology, with a simultaneous German language version published in Karlsruhe, Germany, as Archiv für Augen- und Ohrenheilkunde; sometimes articles would be slightly different. The editors were Hermann Knapp (New York), who practiced both ophthalmology and otology, with greater emphasis on the eye, and the otologist Salomon Moos (Heidelberg).[2][4] The journal obtained its current name in 2013.[5]
