     The Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group

The Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group (CEVG) is an international network of individuals, who prepare, maintain and promote access to systematic reviews of all the interventions used to prevent or treat eye diseases and/or visual impairment.
The work of the CEVG is carried out by over 200 members from 30 different countries around the world. Members contribute to the Group in many different ways: preparing systematic reviews; peer reviewing; manually searching journals; translating articles. We welcome new members at any time.

See the CEVG website www.cochraneeyes.org for a current list of priority titles in need of authors or co-authors and visit The Cochrane Library for copies of completed reviews: www.thecochranelibrary.com
