Articles by quality and importance

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

The following ophthalmology articles have image requests:

• Arlt's line
• Ectropion
• Enophthalmos
• Madarosis
• Stargardt disease

If you are considering adding an image, please remember the following:

• Images should enhance an article by featuring its subject.
• The quality of an image is always more important than the quantity of images included.
• When possible, use free images uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons.
• Only high quality photos should be used. Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria outlines what defines a quality image.

Article alerts not yet available. Please allow some days for processing.

The template for marking an article as part of the Ophthalmology task force is part of the WikiProject Medicine banner, {{WPMED}}. It can be inserted into an article's talkpage with:

{{WPMED |class= |importance= |ophthalmology=yes |ophthalmology-imp= }}

The first "importance" parameter is the subject's importance to the overall field of medicine, according to the guidelines here. The importance of a subject to the field of ophthalmology should be listed with the "ophthalmology-imp" parameter. The appearance of the template is as follows:
