Dear EyeWiki Editors,
Since January 1, 2026 we have added 23 new articles. We have also collectively edited 1029 articles since the start of the year out of our current 1735 articles.
Tip of the Month: Tip of the Month: Can medical students, researchers, and residents help EyeWiki editors to update articles?
- Short answer: Yes!
- Residents, with registered EyeWiki accounts, may edit and contribute to any article on EyeWiki. Once they have updated an article you can sign off as an EyeWiki editor to indicate the article is up to date
- Medical students and researchers need a sponsoring ophthalmologist and can have a registered read-only EyeWiki account. They can assist you by editing articles offline. Then you can add their username to the All Contributors section of the article to recognize their contributions to EyeWiki
- Find other great tips and FAQs on the Getting Started page
