CO-HOSTS
Singapore Society of Ophthalmology (SSO)
The Singapore Society of Ophthalmology was established in 1963 and serves as a platform for the local ophthalmology fraternity to interact and socialize. It currently has a total membership base of more than 300 ophthalmologists.
Aside from hosting the biennial Singapore-Malaysia Joint Meeting in Ophthalmology where ophthalmologists and trainees from both Singapore and Malaysia gather to acquire the latest updates and techniques in ophthalmology, the Society also supports research, educational and community outreach programs. The SSO has successfully co-hosted large conferences such as the International Neuro-Ophthalmology Symposium and the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology Congress achieving significant delegate attendances and attracting renowned speakers from around the world.
The Young Ophthalmologist (YO) Chapter was formed in 2017 with a long-term goal of engaging ophthalmologists from the time they begin residency training to attaining specialist accreditation. The YO has also been very actively participating in various conferences in the region and internationally. The Society’s Women’s Chapter was established in 2025 to promote, empower and support women in the field of ophthalmology.

College of Ophthalmologists
(COPH)
The Chapter of Ophthalmologists had subsisted under the purview of the College of Surgeons, Singapore since the College was formed in 2004.
With a steady growth in the Chapter’s membership and in the objective to enhance the development of the specialty, as well as, having a stronger presence to advocate the future of ophthalmology, the idea of converting the Chapter into a College to better serve the community, all ophthalmologists and trainees was mooted. After a year of effort dedicated to the formation process, the College of Ophthalmologists was formed on 20 January 2009 under the Academy of Medicine, Singapore.
