Mission Statement

Women In Ophthalmology, Inc. was founded to enhance and improve the professional environment for women ophthalmologists. We encourage diversity, impartiality, and economic parity, and strive to cultivate new opportunities for leadership, education, and public service in the field of ophthalmology for ourselves and future generations, both nationally and internationally.

President's Message

On behalf of Women in Ophthalmology, welcome to 2008!

For me, the month of January always presents an opportunity for reflection and evaluation, a turn inward before turning outward to activity for the year.  It seems this year more than any other, there are so many opportunities yet so little time.  So I need merely determine what is most important, rather than simply urgent, right?  Easier said than done.

As you go through your own annual renewal associated with the New Year, I invite you to consider Women in Ophthalmology as one of those important commitments.  Your commitment can be as limited as paying dues and reading e-newsletters or extended as participating in our governance.  I believe you will find as I have, that your personal and professional benefit in greater, the more involvement you have.  More...
