SOE Young Ophthalmologists

Welcome to the web home of SOE YOs – the European Society of Ophthalmology Young Ophthalmologists. We are a programme organised by the Education Committee of SOE and run by young ophthalmologists from around Europe.

Our activities have consisted of young ophthalmologist targeted and led sessions at major conferences (including the SOE congress), social events and collaboration with YO groups from other continents. We aim to continue this activity at major ophthalmic conferences and hope to expand our efforts. We welcome input from enthusiastic YOs around Europe, so please register your interest and feel free to contact any of the committee with your ideas. We will be posting some of the content of our symposia on the website, and also welcome other contributions from YOs (such as observership or fellowship reports). We hope that this webpage will eventually become a useful resource for YOs around Europe, facilitating communication, travel and collaboration.
