Europe
Bringing more of the “World” to Ophthalmic World Leaders!
Ophthalmic World Leaders is delighted to continue our formal expansion into Europe. This expansion blossomed from current member requests and potential member interest to strengthen their networks and expand opportunities for diverse candidates in the same way as OWL does in the USA.
Led by our European-based Committee, OWL consulted with existing and potential European members, to understand what they need and want from a membership with OWL. Using these insights, we will continue to develop relevant educational programs and networking opportunities, bringing together the eyecare community across Europe.
