Guest Editorial: The International Council of Ophthalmology Examinations

The International Council of Ophthalmology (www.icoph.org) is a Swiss registered Non-Governmental-Organization (NGO). We aim to build a World Alliance for Sight to enhance ophthalmic education and improve patients’ access to high quality eye care to preserve and restore vision for the people of the world. The rules governing NGOs are such that the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) has to be run economically and accountably with modest expenses so that the greatest benefit goes to the delivery of our programs in education, eye care and leadership which are delivered in 67 countries, including Iran. The main support for the ICO comes from the members of our constituent societies. The ICO education programs include the Fellowships and the Examinations.
