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, 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 (info@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.

Scheduled for print in 2010, the Directory of International Ophthalmology will be sent free to members of the ICO and 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.
