OSWB was founded in 1942 under the leadership of Lt. Col. E.O.G. Kirwan C.I.E. The initial years saw the Society working from the Office of the Head of Department of Ophthalmology at Medical College and Hospitals, Kolkata. Evolving through an office on Chittaranjan Avenue, the Society now functions out of its own office in the Journal of the Indian Medical Association building in Creek Row, Kolkata.
History of OSWB
We wish to engage with all our members and mentor young
ophthalmologists so that they may develop their practice ethically
by keeping updated through the continuing professional development
programs.
We desire to enrich the camaraderie and
collegiality amongst our members and peers so that they can
experience the benefits of exchanging skills and knowledge on a
constant basis.
We will continually strive to listen
and learn, to adapt and change so that our Society evolves into a
stronger, more vibrant and matured professional Society trusted by
our own members and looked up to by all others.
We are committed to combining the highest-quality science with innovations in medicine, practice patterns and patient outcomes.
