What we do

International Congenital Corneal Opacity Network

WSPOS in conjunction with the Pediatric Keratoplasty Association (Ken Nischal & Gerald Zaidman respectively) conducted a Focus Group Meeting during the WCPOS V, 2024 to initiate the establishment of the International Congenital Corneal Opacification Network (ICCON). We had 50 people participate in the focus group session, both in-person & virtually. Should you like to be a part of this International Congenital Corneal Opacification Network (ICCON), please click on the “Join Here” Button We will continue to keep this form active for a few more weeks (until the end of September), following which we will collate all the information received & plan an initial virtual meeting, which will be followed by an in-person meeting (most likely during the World Cornea Congress at the USA, next March). Should you express your interest via this link, you will be sent additional information towards the 1st week of October, 2024. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us (admin@wspos.org & / management@wspos.org)

Our Impact

The World Society of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (WSPOS) was established in 2009.

WSPOS has a collegial ethos which allows the society to discuss important and controversial matters in the field of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.

WSPOS is an international society which recognises that the majority of eye care delivered to children all over the world come from adult ophthalmic surgeons who see children, as well as dedicated paediatric ophthalmologists.

WSPOS also notes that the expertise in paediatric ophthalmology is a global responsibility. For this reason we have been invited to participate in major ophthalmological meetings including ESCRS, ASCRS, AAO, WOC and SOE.

Under the guidance of its Executive and Scientific Bureaus, the society gives adult ophthalmic surgeons who are taking the time to look after children the opportunity to discuss their expertise and their problems with paediatric ophthalmologists.

In turn, paediatric ophthalmologists can learn from their adult counterparts about new techniques and procedures.

 

The world of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus is constantly changing and our challenge is to ensure that our members are informed of the latest developments and innovations.

We also recognise that collaboration and communication are essential for the development of the society and our congresses and sub-specialty days allow us to network with key opinion leaders in all areas of ophthalmology.
