Dear Colleagues and Friends

It is with pleasure that I invite you to join the Zambia Ophthalmological Society in the 2018 congress. It provides a platform at which all eye care workers and partners within the country and abroad get together to share knowledge and skills in the ever-growing field of Ophthalmology.

The theme for this congress is “Promoting eye health services through collaborative effort”. We envisage an interactive, educative congress and a forum at which all the cadres involved in eye care. Ophthalmologists, Ophthalmic Clinical officers, Nurses and Optometrists will participate and we look forward to lots of scientific presentations and discussions as well as an insight into the technical advances in Ophthalmology.
