Azerbaijan Society of Ophthalmology

The Azerbaijan Society of Ophthalmology was founded on 10th December 1920. We have a National Eye Center that has a fully equipped clinic where we perform a lot of different surgeries every year. We have Retina, Glaucoma, Eye trauma, Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, Refractive surgery and Policlinic departments. Also we have a clinic on wheels where we conduct check-ups & perform surgeries in different regions of our country by rotation on a monthly basis. Our doctors attend different conferences yearly.
