We are enthused by the tremendous success of the inaugural WSOPRAS meeting in Dubai from May 5 to May 7, 2023, with the support of 31 major Oculoplastic Societies from around the world, including all pan-national Societies. The first meeting was attended by 464 delegates from 64 countries, with 171 faculty members from 60 countries, making it a truly global gathering. The positive feedback and success of the meeting were attributed to its innovative, interactive, educational, and hands-on scientific program format, showcasing the latest advancements by top faculty from across the globe. We aim to replicate and further enhance this success with your input, suggestions, and wholehearted participation at the upcoming meeting.

We plan to feature case-based discussions with experts, panel discussions, challenges, debates, and interactive forums to delve into topics, in addition to the traditional meeting format.

The venue for the meeting is state-of-the-art, equipped with the latest technology to enhance each delegate’s experience and provide a modern conference experience.

Istanbul, a city straddling Europe and Asia across the Bosphorus straits, offers an ideal blend of historical charm, tradition, and modernity, catering to a diverse range of preferences. It serves as a major travel hub with direct flights connecting to almost every corner of the world. Istanbul provides a safe, warm, and friendly environment for you and your family, accommodating various comfort levels.

We eagerly anticipate your participation and greatly value your support and contributions. An enclosed flyer provides further details about the meeting.

Updated information of the meeting will be available through the conference website which will be operational soon.

SOE 2025 Congress

Following the very successful SOE Congress in Prague in June 2023, it is time to look ahead at the Congress due to take place in Lisbon in June 2025. I am most grateful to each and everyone whose contribution helped make the Prague Congress such an achievement.

The planning for Prague started at the early stages of the recovery from Covid. There were the obvious uncertainties about the future and the appetite of colleagues to return to face to face meetings. There were considerable challenges not least as a result of crowded diaries with other meetings overlapping or taking place around the same time.

We were very pleased to welcome nearly two thousand delegates from 89 countries from across every continent. The feedback on the clinical content was excellent and thanks to the help and support of our Czech Colleagues and the Czech Ophthalmological Society we enjoyed an exceptional social program. We were delighted to be able to offer free registration to 130 Ukrainian colleagues

We have every reason to expect strong support and an even greater success in Lisbon. The scientific program is constantly evolving based on the feedback from previous meetings. We also expect the Congress to offer significant networking opportunities in beautiful Lisbon at a very good time of the year.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a feast of Ophthalmology for Senior and Young colleagues in all disciplines of Ophthalmology from Europe and across the world.
