New supranational European society

Five of the largest European ophthalmic societies have founded a new supranational society — The Federation of European Ophthalmology (FEOph).

The new society represents more than 15,000 European ophthalmologists and aims to be a platform for advocacy, education, guidelines, CME, specialty training and standards in European ophthalmology.

The societies involved in the launch of the FEOph are the French Society of Ophthalmology, the German Society of Ophthalmology, the Italian Society of Ophthalmology, the Royal College of Ophthalmologists in the UK and the Spanish Society of Ophthalmology.
