Abstract

SummaryThe main goal of the EBO is to harmonize education and training in general ophthalmology within Europe and the main tool is the comprehensive EBO Diploma examination, organized annually since 1995, awarding successful candidates the title of the Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology (FEBO). More recently the EBO has established a Subspecialty European Board of Ophthalmology Diploma Examination with the goal to increase standards of knowledge and care in various subspecialties. The EBO is realising this goal by close collaboration with different European ophthalmological subspecialty societies who are actively taking part in the organization and realization of the EBO Subspecialty Examinations allowing an official and standardized evaluation and awarding of knowledge in various specialties.The first of these subspecialty examinations to be introduced is in the field of glaucoma and is developed in close collaboration with the European Glaucoma Society (EGS). The goals, the organisation and requirements to sit the subspecialty exam as well as the first experience with the FEBO‐Glaucoma exam and Diploma will be presented.
