EyeWiki, initiated by the American Academy of Ophthalmology in 2009, serves as a digital platform for ophthalmology-related information, primarily targeting ophthalmologists and the general public. The platform encourages contributions from qualified ophthalmologists or those in training, allowing for content creation and editing to ensure a wide representation of ophthalmic knowledge[1][2][3]
The platform accommodates various content types including text articles, images, and videos with voice-overs hosted via YouTube. It operates under a self-moderation model, with editorial boards for each subspecialty and a hierarchy of editors overseeing content quality and accuracy1.
As of October 2023, EyeWiki hosts 4,006 detailed ophthalmic topics. Earlier statistics from February 1, 2019, show 818 user-contributed articles and 70 active volunteer content reviewers, with a significant number of page views and visitors recorded in 2018[4].
Notably, EyeWiki also supports annual contests for U.S. residents, fellows, and international contributors, rewarding the best new entries on the platform[5].
