The pictures in our Eye Health Guide show what each eye condition looks like. Real clinical photos and diagrams come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences (public domain, CC BY or CC BY-SA). Images marked "Illustration / simulation by ORINvue" were made by ORINvue to show how a condition can affect vision; they are not real clinical photos.
Images under CC BY-SA are shared under the same licence; ORINvue's changes (cropping, resizing, side-by-side layout, blur or shadow effects) are noted next to each image. Thank you to every photographer and clinician who shares their work freely.
