Dear Colleagues

Following the very successful SOE Congress in Prague in June 2023, it is time to look ahead at the Congress due to take place in Lisbon in June 2025. I am most grateful to each and everyone whose contribution helped make the Prague Congress such an achievement.

The planning for Prague started at the early stages of the recovery from Covid. There were the obvious uncertainties about the future and the appetite of colleagues to return to face to face meetings. There were considerable challenges not least as a result of crowded diaries with other meetings overlapping or taking place around the same time.

We were very pleased to welcome nearly two thousand delegates from 89 countries from across every continent. The feedback on the clinical content was excellent and thanks to the help and support of our Czech Colleagues and the Czech Ophthalmological Society we enjoyed an exceptional social program. We were delighted to be able to offer free registration to 130 Ukrainian colleagues

We have every reason to expect strong support and an even greater success in Lisbon. The scientific program is constantly evolving based on the feedback from previous meetings. We also expect the Congress to offer significant networking opportunities in beautiful Lisbon at a very good time of the year.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be a feast of Ophthalmology for Senior and Young colleagues in all disciplines of Ophthalmology from Europe and across the world.

Wagih Aclimandos 

President, European Society of Ophthalmology
