Dear colleagues, dear friends,
Welcome to the website of the Czech Society of Oculoplastic Surgery (ČOPS).
I was also wondering whether we indeed needed another society in our small territory. Based on our experience and development abroad, I have decided that yes, we do. You can find the aims of our association in the Articles of the Society, namely the Article III., but our main goal should be a rational combination of medical and cosmetic surgery in the upper 2/3 facial segments. Of course, this aim also includes an explanation that in some cases a surgery is considered inappropriate. We do not expect a massive influx of applicants but we would like to address those who devote themselves to the subject while improving communication among us and with other entities. For practical reasons, only a limited number of people were involved in the establishment of the Society, but we tried to capture everything of importance. Perhaps the last impulse leading to the establishment of the Czech Society of Oculoplastic Surgery was the approval of the congress of the European Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ESOPRS) which will take place in Prague in 2025. I hope that by then we will be a consolidated society achieving our objectives.
Wishing to keep medicine and commerce in a reasonable balance,
Pavel Diblík, Prague 7 March 2021
