The Irish College of Ophthalmologists

The Irish College of Ophthalmologists (ICO) is the postgraduate training and professional body for ophthalmologists in Ireland. The ICO is a registered Irish charity (CRO 151473). The College is committed to the advancement and improvement of eye health and works to protect, enhance and promote the highest standards in the delivery of eye care and ophthalmic training. The ICO provides and supports education and learning for ophthalmologists in training, in practice and those who work alongside them as they deliver care to patients. The College hosts a three day Annual Conference in May and one day Winter Conference in December for its members each year. The ICO Eye Care in Focus Conference, a clinical education meeting for the extended eye care team (GP’s, orthoptists, optometrist, ophthalmic nurses, ophthalmic technicians and management), takes place in the autumn. Through our collaboration with a number of key external stakeholders, including patient support groups, the Health Service Executive, the Department of Health, the Medical Council and the Forum of Postgraduate Training Bodies, the ICO gives leadership and guidance on patient centered policy decisions and patient advocacy.
