WSPOS Member Societies

WSPOS is trying to integrate Eye-Care Specialists for Strabismus, Children with Eye Diseases and Adults with Ocular Motility Problems the world over. Where there is no infrastructure in terms of societies for Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, we have helped Countries form WSPOS Chapters and provided a presence on our website.  

If your Country does not have a National Paediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus Organisation / Association, we would like to invite your Country to become a Chapter with web hosting by the WSPOS.  

Over 75 Countries have joined WSPOS either as Member Societies or Chapter Countries with web hosting by us. 

WSPOS is a Charity and there is no cost to become a WSPOS Member Society or a WSPOS Chapter Country.

Join WSPOS today.
