The Retina Society has signed with the ICO to support fellowship training for a promising young ophthalmologist from a low-resource country in the subspecialty of Retina.
 
Incorporated in 1968, the mission of the Retina Society is to reduce worldwide visual disability and blindness by promoting the education and professional interaction of vitreoretinal specialists, providing optimal care for patients, and encouraging through clinical and basic research the discovery and development of new means to further patient care.

“We are so pleased that the Retina Society has joined forces with the ICO to support high quality retinal training. This program will improve the care that fellows can provide to their patients when they return home.”, says Berthold Seitz MD, ICO Board member and Chair, ICO Fellowships Program.
