Members of the College are invited to submit nominations for Honorary Fellowships for 2023. The award of Honorary Fellow is the highest accolade that the College can bestow. It recognises those who have made a significant contribution to the field of ophthalmology.

Eligible individuals can be from any field of ophthalmic science, research or medicine or a member of the general public. Their work should have inspired, contributed to or made an impact in the field of ophthalmology and the wide eye health sector.

The highly respected award is made to only one or two individuals each year, with the honour conferred at the Admissions Ceremony held in September. View a list of current Honorary Fellows and the citations covering their achievements here.

Applications must be submitted by completing this Nomination for Honorary Fellowship form and returning it to [email protected].

The closing date for nominations to be received is Friday 28 October 2022.

Applications are assessed by a panel that then provides a shortlist for the RCOphth Council in December 2022. Awards will be made in September of the following year.
