About the Pan-American Ophthalmological Foundation

The Pan-American Association of Ophthalmology, founded in 1939, aims to enhance the exchange of scientific knowledge and prevent blindness through education among ophthalmologists across the Americas. Established in response to the disruption of the International Congress of Ophthalmology during World War II, this organization has grown to include members from over 35 countries, dedicated to improving ophthalmic knowledge and skills for better patient care.

Impact of the PAAO

Through numerous educational programs and congresses, the PAAO fosters collaboration among ophthalmologists, significantly contributing to the prevention of blindness throughout the Western Hemisphere. These initiatives have led to improved standards of eye care and enhanced professional development for ophthalmologists.
