CN Cornea: Journal news Effective with the October 2017 issue of Cornea, the Cornea journal app for tablets will be discontinued. How- ever, Wolters Kluwer is pleased to announce the Cornea journal website now offers responsive design. This enables the website to resize and adapt to whatever screen size the reader has. The improved browser experience will be available on all devices, Apple and Android. Wolters Kluwer has rolled out re- sponsive design in order to meet an industry-wide trend over the last few years that has seen mobile device use increasing, while use of journal- specific apps has declined. Users are increasingly using the browser on their mobile devices and moving away from opening an app for each specific journal they read. Check out the responsive design website of Cornea from any device at www.corneajrnl.com.
