The Turkish ophthalmologists association and the Ophthalmic Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina joined forces to organize the first gathering of ophthalmologists in the Balkans. The event took place from April 21^st – 23^rd in Sarajevo, attended by ophthalmologists from the region and neighboring countries.

The Scientific Committee has developed a program with topics that touch on general fields in ophthalmology, while the visiting experts from Turkey and Bosnia and Herzegovina prepared separate lectures that they combined at the event itself. The idea was to exchange experiences and discuss different approaches.
