Welcome to the completely redesigned European Society of Ophthalmology (SOE) website.
The society is made up of 40 national member societies in geographical Europe including associate societies in Egypt, Israel and Jordan.
As well as organizing the biennial Congress for European Ophthalmology SOE does so much more.
The society awards a large number of educational grants to Ophthalmologists and teachers for training at other centers.
In addition SOE organizes a special two year leadership development programme (EuLDP) to prepare the next generation of leaders in European Ophthalmology.
SOE also sponsors lectures for clinicians and scientists across Europe and has recently set up a group for SOE Young Ophthalmologists (YOs).
It is an exciting time for the society and we see the website as an integral part of our development interacting with Ophthalmologists across Europe.
