Recommendations from the OOG in OOG Association

You are organizing a meeting—such as a sounding board group or an expert group—and you would like the OOG in OOG Association to attend as well.

The OOG in OOG Association has several experts by experience who see with one eye and are available to give guest lectures or presentations. They base these guest lectures and presentations on their own personal experiences. Guest lectures are available to anyone whose work involves dealing with vision in one eye or ocular prostheses. This includes training and continuing education programs for nurses, ophthalmologists, and other patient organizations. People in specific professional fields, as well as those in secondary or elementary education, and other interested individuals, also request guest lectures.

You can contact the OOG in OOG Association to review patient information, such as a brochure or a patient information leaflet. We evaluate the content from the patient’s perspective.

The OOG in OOG Association regularly posts calls for participation in research, meetings, and other events on its website, in its newsletter, and on social media. The only requirement is that the topic must always be related to seeing with one eye or wearing an ocular prosthesis. Posting a call for participation is free of charge.

The importance and value of the patient perspective in scientific research are increasingly recognized. Patient participation is increasingly being taken into account in the evaluation of research proposals and grants. The OOG in OOG Association welcomes this development and, for each research proposal, establishes agreements regarding the role we can play.
