This electronic library was born from a deep love for ophthalmological dissemination and from the realization that attending a conference in person allows for only a partial understanding of scientific concepts. Having access to the recorded video, being able to rewatch it while calmly analyzing graphs and tables, and organizing presentations in an electronic archive is undoubtedly an advantage.

Gradually, a diverse and completely free scientific library on the presented topics is formed—always available, always accessible.

As a result of organizing numerous meetings, with presentations already intended for online publication or specifically written by experts in the field, we wish to make this educational material available both for young residents and for colleagues who want to review or deepen their knowledge of the discussed ophthalmological topics.

In the “News” section, you will find the latest publications, while in the “Library” section, publications are arranged in chronological order.

A warm welcome to all, and… happy reading!
