The International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) Fellowships Program
ICO Fellowships Program
The International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) Fellowships Program was organized to help promising young ophthalmologists from developing countries improve their practical skills and broaden their perspectives of ophthalmology. Fellows are expected to bring the acquired knowledge and skills back to their home countries and take part in programs to preserve vision and prevent blindness.
The ICO gratefully recognizes grants, gifts, and pledges to the ICO Fellowships Program. Support ICO Fellowships by contributing to the ICO,
ICOFoundation, or the
International Ophthalmological Fellowship Foundation (IOFF). The IOFF was formed in Germany to support the fellowships. View
