Ateliers d'Ophtalmologie Pratique (AOP)

The Atelier d'Ophtalmologie Pratique, or AOP, is one of the most highly anticipated practical ophthalmology congresses in France, bringing together several thousand visual health professionals each year. This event, usually held at the CNIT in Paris La Défense, attracts participants from all over France and abroad and has established itself over the years as an unmissable event for the French-speaking ophthalmological community.

AOPs are distinguished by their resolutely practical and educational focus. This is particularly evident in the interactive formats and real-life scenarios that are prioritised, allowing practitioners to handle equipment and practise on simulators in order to perfect their technical skills in optimal conditions.

In addition, the plenary sessions welcome renowned French and international experts to share their latest advances and feedback. 

Beyond training, over time the Practical Ophthalmology Workshops have become a meeting place for professionals of different generations, where young practitioners can exchange ideas with experienced surgeons, while their seniors discover the innovations brought about by the new generation. 

On the other side of the congress, there is an exhibition area that brings together the leading manufacturers of ophthalmic equipment, making it an ideal place for technological discovery and commercial exchanges.

The scientific programme covers all eye diseases and surgical techniques.

Organising an ophthalmology congress of this scale requires highly efficient audiovisual equipment.
