Mission:
The International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) (www.icoph.org) is an organization founded in 1927 dedicated to uniting, educating, and leading ophthalmologists to participate in a worldwide community where information, tools, and support are shared among nations. Through involvement in the ICO worldwide ophthalmic community and programs, doctors can provide the best eye care possible in their individual regions and battle avoidable blindness that unfortunately affects so many. We are an education-based organization, but the education of physicians extends beyond clinical knowledge to skills such as leadership, advocacy, etc.
The ICO hosts a variety of proactive programs (listed on our website), including sponsoring a biennial World Ophthalmology Congresses with smaller jointly sponsored Congresses on the years in-between. The Congresses rotate in different regions of the world. The ICO Board meets once a year.
