Hi! Thanks for the question.

The International Council of Opthalmology (ICO) provides a list of
international and local opthalmology societies and organizations on
its website. It currently has a list of 246 organizations.

Here is a link to the first page of the site. Just click on next to
see more organizations. In order to get contact information, just
click on the name of the organization.

ICO Database
http://www.icoph.org/soc/societysearch.cfm?vchName=&uidCountry=&uidSpecialty=


Another list can be found here but I think the ICO database is more complete.

I hope this link would help you in your research. Before rating this
answer, please ask for a clarification if you have a question or if
you would need further information.

Hi again!

Please note that the ICO has specifically prohibited the copying of
their list to any web page so I cannot transfer the list here that is
why only a link was given here.

Thanks again.

any further info regarding 2?, i.e. "2.visual care organizations
(including tropical ophthalmology) which includes
emailcontacts/websites and scope of action . Particularly I need 
contacts of these in developing countries (importantly Africa,
Southeast Asia, Russia)".
Thanks again.

Hi!

It seems that eye-care organizations always get into the world of
opthalmology societies.

Here is a list of eye-care organizations catering specifically to
developing nations but the lists are just small.

I hope this would be of help to you.

I have now become more familiar with google answers and its procedures
and realise this was probably a 5-star answer and i should have tipped
the researcher. Thank you Easterangel. Hope there ll be a next time.

Hi agv20-ga!

That's ok this thing needs some familiarity though and at times it
comes through constant using. I am glad that you are happy with the
results.

God Bless.
