Conferences & Conventions

Committed to our mission, we organize periodic congresses, conferences, and meetings to discuss ophthalmic innovations and advances. These events enable member of the ophthalmic and visual sciences societies to collaborate as professionals and to contribute to the eye care advocacy and awareness activities in the region.

The MEACO congress is the one of the largest four ophthalmology conferences worldwide and the largest ophthalmic meeting in the Middle East and Africa regions that attracts more than 3,000 ophthalmologists, eye care professionals, and exhibiting companies from the region, as well as from Europe, America, Asia and Australia.
