Advocacy Statement

The Canadian Ophthalmological Society (COS) plays a pivotal role in ensuring excellence in eye care across Canada. With its members at the forefront of vision care as eye physicians and surgeons, the COS works to assist them to provide exemplary eye care. Collaborating with allies in eye health care and government, the Society seeks to improve vision health policy and initiatives.

Through strategic alliances and dedicated advocacy efforts, the COS aims to elevate awareness, mobilize resources, to prevent blindness, preserve vision, and improve overall eye health. Our mission underscores the importance of collective action and cooperation in safeguarding the precious gift of sight for all Canadians.
