The Eye Encyclopedia written by Eye Physicians and Surgeons

EyeWiki is where ophthalmologists, other physicians, patients, and the public can learn about the vast spectrum of eye disease, diagnosis, and treatment. Any qualified ophthalmologist or ophthalmologist in training is invited to contribute content to the wiki. The work on this site is a collaboration between the American Academy of Ophthalmology and more than a dozen societies.
