Il Corso di Malattie dell'Apparato Visivo nel Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Medicina e Chirurgia è oggi spesso inserito in un Corso di Specializzazione Medico-Chirurgico o similari che comprende il Corso di Otorinolaringologia, Chirurgia Maxillo-Facciale e altre eventuali. Rispetto a diversi anni fa, le esigenze didattiche dell'allora "Clinica Oculistica" e dell'attuale "Malattie dell'Apparato Visivo" al fine della formazione del Dottore in Medicina e Chirurgia sono sicuramente mutate. Oggi si richiede al giovane laureato in Medicina e Chirurgia di avere una conoscenza delle materie specialistiche che permetta, nel corso dell'attività professionale futura, di: poter sospettare/riconoscere le più importanti malattie oculari, saper prendere in taluni casi decisioni diagnostiche-terapeutiche anche importanti, saper indirizzare i pazienti oftalmici allo specialista del settore e, comunque, saper informare i pazienti non oftalmici delle necessità cliniche a scopo preventivo per specifiche malattie oculari sia dell'adulto sia del bambino. Questo manuale di Malattie dell'Apparato Visivo cerca di essere il compendio delle esperienze maturate negli anni più recenti. Infatti, viene dato elevato rilievo alle patologie oculari più frequenti e clinicamente più rilevanti dal punto di vista sia clinico sia sociale.

Originating from Europe's largest and most respected eye hospital, the goal of the 1st edition of Moorfields Manual of Ophthalmology, published in 2007, was to provide a practical resource for those caring for patients with eye disease.
