Mission and purpose

The society exists to support the people who practise, teach and study ophthalmology in and around Jammu. Its purpose is academic and professional rather than clinical: it is a place to exchange findings, debate practice and keep learning.

JOS does not run a clinic, does not provide patient consultations and does not offer appointments. Members of the public looking for eye-health information can read the society's public information pages, which are written for a general audience and reviewed editorially.

Editorial activity

Support ophthalmic writing, review and publication through the society's editorial board.

Formation and history

The society's formation date, founding members and early milestones are being confirmed by the executive committee before they are published here.
