Why a Moroccan Ocular Imaging Society?
Over the past two decades, ophthalmology has experienced significant technological developments that have particularly affected ocular explorations and imaging. The latter has been disrupted by several breakthrough innovations that have profoundly changed semiology, classifications, and patient care.
In this context, a regular knowledge update is not only a need but becomes a necessity. From this observation, the Moroccan Ocular Imaging Society (SMIO) was born to meet this increasingly pressing need.
‣ Regular updating of knowledge through organizing scientific events, practical workshops, webinars, and an annual congress.
‣ The organization of a University Diploma in ocular explorations and imaging.
‣ The integration of new technologies in a practice in line with the means and needs in public health in Morocco.
‣ The creation of a think tank on the use of telemedicine and artificial intelligence in ophthalmology in Morocco.
‣ The integration of new technologies in real-life activity and considering the means and needs of public health in Morocco.
‣ The sharing of knowledge and the transmission of expertise between Seniors and youth ophthalmologists.
‣ Favoring quality scientific research to publish in high-impact factor journals.
‣ The mobilization of resources for the development of the social component.
‣ The development of partnerships with other national and international learned societies.
The Moroccan Ocular Imaging Society is a learned society open to all Moroccan Ophthalmologists, hospital-university, public and private.

President's Message
Dear colleagues ,
Ophthalmology has known during the last decades a major technological change focused particularly on explorations and ocular imaging.
The arrival of artificial intelligence and telemedicine has forever marked ocular imaging and is currently integrated into ophthalmology protocols to ensure the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of our patients.
A perfect up-to-date mastery of ocular imaging is necessary in our practice for better care of our patients.
It is to ensure and honor this mission which is the continuous training in ocular imaging that a group of Moroccan ophthalmologists decided to create the Moroccan Ocular Imaging Society SMIO.
What our Moroccan Society of Ocular Imaging translates it into:
‣ The regular organization of both numerous scientific events and the annual SMIO congress.
‣ Support for any medical training activity aimed at supporting young doctors for the professional development in the field of ocular imaging.
‣ The development of a new website for the SMIO meeting the needs of all ophthalmologists which will be the means of communication by which you will be informed of scientific events and where you will find scientific communications activated on ocular imaging, innovation and ocular imaging research.
‣ The mobilization of resources and the support of social activities for the detection and management of blinding diseases in poor populations in Morocco.
The Moroccan Ocular Imaging Society is a learned society open to all Moroccan Ophthalmologists, hospital-university, public and private.
Join us .
On behalf of all the board members , I will be extremely happy to welcome you to any event that we organize.
Welcome.
The President of the Moroccan Ocular Imaging Society
DR. EL ARABI ZAKIA
