American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgery (AECOS)
AECOS is a truly progressive organization that fosters communication and cooperation between leading anterior segment surgeons, ophthalmic industry executives, select venture capitalists, and technology entrepreneurs. Originally established in 2011 as a congress of American thought leaders, the Society expanded in 2012 to become The American-European Congress of Ophthalmic Surgery®. In 2013, the Society formalized its expansion by creating an American Executive Committee and a European Executive Committee – each chartered to drive the mission and vision of AECOS. Today, this prestigious Society remains dedicated to advancing vision care and improving patients’ quality of life through Innovation, Education and Advocacy.

Founded in 2022, the GWG aims to “ACT Locally, ImpACT Globally.” The goal is to have a sustainability warden in every eye unit worldwide, with many units already onboard. The GWG’s efforts include reducing plastic waste, encouraging recycling, and other projects which also happen to drive down cost. The organization also endorses EyeSustain and fosters collaboration with colleagues and industry partners.
