Welcome to the '''Ophthalmology task force''' for [[WP:MED|WikiProject Medicine]].  We are a [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject|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 [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] and see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Ophthalmology_task_force#Open_tasks|to-do list]].  

==Getting started==
If you are new to Wikipedia, you can learn about the project and how to edit by reading [[Wikipedia:Introduction|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]]
*[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Ophthalmology task force/List of articles|List of articles within the scope of this task force]]

==Open tasks==
<!-- What *specific* things need to be done.  Lists of articles to be worked on are a good start. -->

===Images===
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 [[commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]].
:*Only high quality photos should be used.  [[Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria]] outlines what defines a quality image.

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

:<nowiki>{{WPMED |class= |importance= |ophthalmology=yes |ophthalmology-imp= }}</nowiki>

The first "importance" parameter is the subject's importance to the overall field of medicine, according to the guidelines [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Assessment#Importance_scale|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:
{{WPMED|class=|importance=|ophthalmology=yes|ophthalmology-imp=Low|category=no}}

==Project members==
