It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 edition of the Watany Ophthalmology Summit (WOS), one of the premier ophthalmology conferences in Egypt and the region.

This year, we will delve into various aspects of ophthalmic practice , with special highlights on advanced and challenging cataract surgery.
Honored to have Insights on this from the renowned Cataract Coach, Dr. Uday Devgan.
We will also feature a comprehensive full-day course on retinal imaging and explore the significance of genetics in modern ophthalmology.

Additionally, we will emphasize the crucial role of accreditation in medical practice by discussing the importance of GAHAR accreditation.
As a new addition this year pharmacological aspects of daily ophthalmic management will be emphasized in collaboration with Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Sciences (PHS).

Our popular sessions from previous years are making the usual comeback: The best of WEH Grand Rounds, The Young Ophthalmologist by Young Ophthalmologists, and the Alexandria Ophthalmology Summit (AOS).

Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to the WEH team for organizing this event, our distinguished invited speakers, and our sponsors for their support. I hope WOS2024 will be an enjoyable and enriching educational experience for everyone.

Enjoy WOS2024!
