Free Ophthalmology Atlases

The RedAtlas.org is a free online atlas of ophthalmic disorders, in existence since 2002.

The atlas has sections for Anterior Segment, Glaucoma, Neuro-Ophthalmology, Oculoplastics, Pathology, Retina and Uveitis. It is case-based but almost all cases lack the history part and only the images are shown, which is the most important feature of an atlas after all.

I found several more free online atlases of ophthalmology and they are listed below:

- EyeRounds Online Atlas of Ophthalmology, University of Iowa

- The Robert Bendheim Digital Atlas of Ophthalmology

- Atlas of Ophthalmology by the International Council of Ophthalmology

- Video: Eye Trauma according to Dr Root http://goo.gl/KIEC and http://www.rootatlas.com

The EyeRounds Online Atlas of Ophthalmology by the University of Iowa has the significant advantage of a very relaxed copyright policy for educational use: "The material belongs to the contributing author. The contributing authors allow visitors (including health care professionals who wish to distribute materials to patients) to duplicate portions of this site for personal or educational use without seeking permission from the authors."
