Muslim ophthalmologists have made significant achievements in the field of ophthalmology in all Islamic lands and territories, especially in Andalusia. Andalusian scientists have written several works related to medicine and ophthalmology that introduce us to their activities in this field. The main purpose of this study is to review the activities performed in Andalusia regarding ophthalmology. Using the review method of libraries and referring to the sources and written works of Andalusian physicians and ophthalmologists, their most important activities in this field have been studied. A study of medical and ophthalmological works in Andalusia showed that Andalusian ophthalmologists created special innovations, the most important of which are the invention and manufacture of various drugs, various surgeries, understanding the anatomy of the eye, and use of various tools for treatment and surgery.
