The study and analysis of the Byzantine texts after the 9th century, especially those of Theophanes and Ioannes Actuarius, reveals that the ophthalmology of this epoch follows in general lines the knowledge of the earlier ancient Greek and Byzantine physicians, adding, however, remarkable clarifications as to differential diagnosis and treatment. Nevertheless, there is some noteworthy information in the historical and hagiographical texts that indicate the high level of the practice of this specialty in Byzantine hospitals (xenones) in the middle and late periods.
对9世纪之后拜占庭文本的研究与分析，尤其是对狄奥法内斯和约翰尼斯·阿库阿里乌斯文本的研究与分析，揭示出这一时期的眼科学总体上沿袭了早期古希腊和拜占庭医生的知识，不过在鉴别诊断和治疗方面增添了显著的阐释。然而，在历史和圣徒传记文本中存在一些值得注意的信息，这些信息表明该专业在拜占庭中期和晚期医院（xenones）中的实践水平很高。
