December 2022  Seasonal Greetings from the EGS President  2022 has been another year of great activity for the EGS. The 15th Congress in Athens (4/6/2022-8/6/2022) was a great success and provided with an inspiring programme covering the newest information on glaucoma surgery, diagnostics and therapy. The Education, Programme Planning and Communications committees have been particularly active, planning the FEBO and FEBOS Examinations, devising stimulating educational courses and congresses, and communicating all the EGS activities through the newsletter and website. The new Fellowship programme is now open  This new project aims to provide candidates who fulfil the EGS requirements here, with high quality glaucoma training within UEMS member countries. This one-year programme is matching standards of theoretical and practical knowledge published on the EGS website (weblink). The final goal of this project is to harmonize glaucoma training across Europe while providing high-quality glaucoma care and building a solid basis for upcoming leaders in the field.
