First, a short introduction into some multimedia-supported e-learning programmes of ophthalmology such as the Vienna Case Studies, EyeExam and Ophthalmic Operation Vienna will be given. The most recent project to create an online ‘textbook’ of ophthalmology, called e-i (electronic-eye), will be presented. It should allow the user to choose the type of interface to access the content from a database. The difficulty of creating a platform which integrates the different modules will be discussed.
