Florian Verrey (7 October 1911, in Lausanne – 14 September 1976) was a Swiss ophthalmologist.

He studied medicine at the University of Lausanne, and from 1939 served as an assistant under Marc Amsler at the university eye clinic.[1] In 1944 he followed Amsler to the University of Zürich, where in 1951 he became head of its polyclinic. In 1960 he received a professorship in Zürich.[2]

He was the author of 74 medical papers, many of which concerned the eye's aqueous humor. He was also interested in uveitis; in 1964 he listed 130 different diseases in which uveitis may happen.[2] The eponymous "Amsler-Verrey sign" bears his name; being defined as bleeding caused by applanation tonometry and cataract surgery in patients with Fuchs heterochromic iridocyclitis.[3]
