πŸ‘οΈ Two societies. One vision. Better outcomes for children.

For the first time, WSPOS and EURETINA are coming together for a dedicated Paediatric Retina Day.

Why? Because some of the most complex retinal conditions in children sit at the intersection of paediatric ophthalmology and retina.

On Saturday 3 October in Vienna, experts from both communities will come together for one focused day of education, research, clinical discussion and collaboration.

Remembering Daisy Godts 🀍

Daisy was a friend, colleague and valued member of the WSPOS Executive Bureau.

Her warmth, kindness and generosity touched so many across our global community, while her passion for eye health and education inspired colleagues around the world.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have known Daisy and to have benefited from her friendship, enthusiasm and dedication.

Her legacy lives on through her family and the many people she taught, supported and inspired.

Daisy, you will be deeply missed and always remembered with great affection.

Rest in peace.
