Vitreoretinal surgery has been the most astoundingly innovative subspecialty of ophthalmology in recent times and European ophthalmologists have been and are continuing to play major roles in keeping this an exciting and dynamic field.
In 2001 a group of high-volume European vitreoretinal surgeons decided to become active by establishing the European VitreoRetinal Society (EVRS). Today EVRS boasts more than 1400 members. The last annual meeting was attended by vitreoretinal specialists from 69 countries.
Our aims are to :
- Share our expertise among each other for the mutual benefit of all.
- Develop and promote new methods of teaching and student/master interaction in this highly complex field.
- Facilitate dialogue among European colleagues.
- Promote European ideas and techniques.
- Become active in politics to ensure that we can provide our input in Brussels in matters concerning our future interests.
