The German Ophthalmological Society (DOG) is the scientific specialist society for ophthalmology in Germany and, with its foundation in 1857, the oldest medical- scientific specialist society in the world. Her main focus is the research, further development and promotion of ophthalmology. It organizes congresses, publishes specialist journals and other publications, and promotes young academics, for example in the form of grants and sponsorship awards . Special achievements are also recognized by awarding the Von Graefe Prize or the Graefe Medal, which is only awarded every ten years . There is a close cooperation with the professional association of ophthalmologists in Germany (BVA).
More than 7200 ophthalmologists and scientists are members. The company is based in Heidelberg and has an office in Munich.
The association publishes its own specialist organs on a monthly basis: Der Ophthalmologe (Print: ISSN 0941-293X ; Online: ISSN 1433-0423 ) and Graefe's Archive (Print: ISSN 0721-832X ; Online: ISSN 1435-702X )
The DOG maintains various sections , legally dependent sub-organizations, which are intended to support the DOG in fulfilling its tasks. The following of these sections are currently set up:
- genetics
- Tissue transplantation and biotechnology
- glaucoma
- Cornea
- International ophthalmology
- Neuroophthalmology
- Ophthalmopathology
- Ophthalmoplastic and reconstructive surgery
- Uveitis
Furthermore, the DOG has set up a number of commissions, working groups and working groups, which - partly in cooperation with other associations such as the BVA - deal with different topics. The DOG is a member of the Working Group of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF).
