Welcome to this medicine task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the Medicine talk page, the centralized point for discussion, thank you.

Welcome to the Ophthalmology task force for WikiProject Medicine. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of ophthalmology, the field of medicine relating to the eye. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list.

If you are new to Wikipedia, you can learn about the project and how to edit by reading this brief introduction. If you are looking to help improve the coverage of ophthalmology on Wikipedia, you could start by working on a condition from any of the three lists below. You might also consider adopting a task on the to-do list in the "open tasks" section below.

• List of eye diseases and disorders
• List of systemic diseases with ocular manifestations
• List of articles within the scope of this task force
