The SOA was pleased to contribute to the International Council of Ophthalmology’s bi-annual World Ophthalmology Congress, held virtually in 2020.
The Association organized a 60 minute program titled ‘Evolving Humanitarian Programs’, to include the ophthalmic work of St John around the world, and evolving programs elsewhere.
We are very grateful to the ICO in allowing us to share these talks, and to Bruce Spivey for his support, both as a member of SOA-Americas, and as Past President of the ICO.
