HISTORY:
This
Society was the earliest
society
to be founded on tear and lachrymal diseases. It was
founded in 1982, and has
had
periodical triennial congresses
since then
(Lubbock, TX
1984, Budapest 1987, Amsterdam 1990, Madrid 1993, Stockholm 1996,
Jerusalem 1999, New Orleans 2002). Its next congress will take place in
Madrid, from April 1st to April 3rd 2005.
The
International Society of Dacryology is a scientific society for the
research and diffusion of knowledge in the lachrymal domain and its
main topics are basic research on tears, tear film and ocular surface, medical
application, and lachrymal surgery. It also accepts contributions in
psychology, phylogeny, ontogeny, zoology, arts, history and any topics
related with tears. The Society also includes a division for the
membership of patients with dry eye or any other dacryological diseases.
This membership includes courses that may eventually contribute with their
experience and collaboration to the Society.
During
its last, VIIth Congress in New Orleans, the International Society of Dacryology
decided to suppress the annual fee of the members, and to limit the
income of the Society to the registration fees to the congresses.
ACTIVITIES:
The International Society of Dacryology and Dry Eye has periodical
courses and periodical triennial international congresses.
The
triennial congresses are decided at the preceeding
congress. The next congress will take place in Madrid, on 1-3 April 2005.
The official language will be English.
The
periodical courses are usually national meetings that have two
simultaneous events, one for scientific participants and attendants, and
another for patients with dry eye. These courses are held in the language
of the country where they take place and/or in English.
As we
consider that you may be interested in Dacryology and Dry Eye, i.e.,
knowledge related with tears, we invite you to take part of the World
Society of Dacryology & Dry Eye. Please fill out the membership
application, and
give it to the congress stewardess or send by mail or e-mail. Your
membership only implies you will receive periodical information on
the activities of the Society and related events.
