IFOS/ICO Newsletter
Edited by P. N. Nagpal, MD, the IFOS/ICO Newsletter offers news of the ICO and international ophthalmology in an eight-page printed newsletter that is distributed to IFOS societies and elsewhere through the world once a year.
All issues can be downloaded from the ICO Eye Site.
The Council has encouraged national societies to seek grants to cover the cost of printing and distributing the IFOS/ICO Newsletter to all ophthalmologists in their countries, particularly where many do not have Internet access.
The Eye Site
The Web site for the ICO, the Eye Site is a world atlas for eye care: a guide to finding information, education and resources related to ophthalmology and vision around the world.
Directed by ICO President Bruce E. Spivey, MD, the Eye Site offers information on ICO and IFOS, ophthalmologic organizations, ophthalmic education and preservation and restoration of vision, as well as resources for ophthalmologic societies, ophthalmologists and the public.
Database of Societies and Residencies
The ICO maintains the most comprehensive listing of information on ophthalmologic societies and ophthalmology residency programs throughout the world.
The data can be accessed on the Eye Site at www.icoph.org/soc/ifos.cfm and updated by society leaders at www.icoph.org/admin with a user name and password available from the ICO (data@icoph.org).
International Ophthalmology
Periodically, the ICO publishes a listing of the most recent information in its database of ophthalmologic societies and ophthalmology residency programs (see above) in book form.
Published most recently in 2006, the Directory of International Ophthalmology was sent free to members of IFOS and is available for sale to others from the Secretary General (info@icoph.org).
Information contained in the database and International Ophthalmology is copyrighted by the ICO and can be used only with its permission.
