SAoO – Our Mission
The Swiss Academy of Ophthalmology is a national foundation dedicated to quality assurance, research and continuing education in practical ophthalmology. It acts both as a support and primarily as an initiator of projects and new ideas and strives to supplement traditional training, teaching and research activities with new means and impulses.
The foundation is committed to maintaining the high quality standards in ophthalmological practice and works to integrate all innovative ideas and projects into the existing structures. It is neutral in terms of denomination, professional policy, association policy and health policy, completely independent and free from regulatory, institutional and industrial ties.

Association
The foundation is supported both financially and non-material by an association. The board of directors is partly identical to the board of trustees and works free of charge. The association’s contributions are used to support the foundation as such and, in particular, certain projects financially.
If you would like to join the association, you can contact our secretariat via info@saoo.ch at any time.
We are happy about every member, patrons and sponsors are particularly welcome.
