 Participating  Societies    All  subspecialty  society  members  of  the  International  Council  of  Ophthalmology  are  invited  to  develop  one  or  more  scientific  session,  as  are  other  selected  ophthalmic  organizations.      To  date,  50  societies  have  agreed  to  organize  58  scientific  sessions.  Those  societies  and  the  topics  for  their  sessions  are  listed  in  the  first  attachment.    The  Subspecialty  Days  were  organized  in  cooperation  with  the  following  MEACO  subspecialty  societies:  

• Middle  East  Africa  Cataract  &  Refractive  Surgery  Society  (MEACRS)  • Middle  East  Africa  Glaucoma  Society  (MEAGS)  • Middle  East  Africa  Pediatric  Ophthalmology  and  Strabismus  society  (MEAPOSS)  • Middle  East  Africa  Oculoplastic  Society  (MEAOPS)  • Middle  East  Africa  Vitreo  Retinal  Society  (MEAVRS).  

 Invited  Program  Coordinators,  Chairs  and  Speakers    Leading  ophthalmologists  from  around  the  world  have  been  invited  to  serve  as  Coordinators  for  the  invited  scientific  program  for  each  of  the  subspecialties  and  topics  listed  above.  For  most  topics,  there  is  one  Coordinator  each  from  the  Americas,  Asia-­‐Pacific  and  Europe,  with  two  from  the  Middle  East/Africa.    The  Coordinators  defined  topics  for  scientific  sessions  in  their  subspecialty  or  topic  area  and  are  inviting  three  Chairs  to  organize  each  scientific  session.  The  Chairs  will  organize  individual  sessions;  invite  speakers  and  moderate  the  session  at  the  Congress  in  Abu  Dhabi.    Coordinators  will  be  asked  to  avoid  overlap  between  the  sessions  they  organize,  the  programs  of  the  subspecialty  days  and  the  sessions  organized  by  societies.    The  Coordinators  who  have  agreed  to  participate  to  date  are  listed.    Submitted  Program    Ophthalmologists  are  invited  to  submit  abstracts  online  to  present  free  papers,  posters,  videos  or  courses  at  http://www.woc2012.org/call_for_papers.html.      Free  papers  will  either  be  integrated  into  symposia  or  presented  in  stand-­‐alone  free  paper  sessions.  Posters  will  be  available  online.    Schedule/Deadlines
