How to contact IFOS organizations and other ophthalmologic societies

To contact individual ophthalmologic organizations that are members of the International Federation of Ophthalmological Societies (IFOS) or other supranational or national societies, you can:

• access the ICO's database of ophthalmologic societies and residency programs around the world
  
  
• visit the Web sites of:
  
  
  • IFOS members and other national societies
    
    
  • Supranational and international societies
    
    
  • Other national, regional and local societies.

Please note that the contents of the ICO database are copyrighted by the ICO and cannot be used for any other purpose than individual contacts without the written permission of the ICO.

The ICO can't respond to individual inquiries

Unfortunately, the ICO does not have the resources to respond to inquiries from patients and their families about specific eye conditions or their treatment.

We do, however, offer links on the Eye Site to other resources for the public related to ophthamology and vision.
