The World Ophthalmology Congress 2010 (WOC® 2010) is rapidly approaching. For the third time the German Society of Ophthalmology (DOG) will be the host of the largest international ophthalmology congress. Following Heidelberg in 1888 and Munich in 1966, the DOG and AAD now jointly welcome ophthalmologists from around the world to come to Berlin in 2010. Twenty years after the reunification, the German capital has evolved into one of the most important metropolises in Europe, thus making it the perfect location for the WOC® 2010.During numerous symposia and courses leading experts will present the most recent scientific knowledge and the latest research findings.
Subspecialty days will cover the topics of retina, glaucoma, cataract and refractive surgery. A comprehensive poster and video program will be featured and will be digitally available at all times. Companies will hold lunch symposia.
A unique opening ceremony with the academic flair of international ophthalmology and a spectacular program should not be missed on any account. Following this event, there will be a “Berlin” reception with typical Berlin specialities in a Berlin setting. A highlight of the supporting program, will be a hearty Bavarian-style “WOCtoberfest”, serving Bavarian and other traditional German fare.
It goes without saying that, like the opening ceremony, this event will be for the whole family.
