You can now nominate exceptional individuals for the Royal College of Ophthalmologists’ 2027 Honorary Fellowships.
Honorary Fellowship is the highest honour the College can bestow. It recognises people who have made a significant contribution to ophthalmology.
Each year the College awards Honorary Fellowship to individuals whose work and achievements have had a significant impact on the profession or the wider field of eye health.
Nominees can come from any area of ophthalmic science, research or medicine, and nominations can also recognise individuals outside the profession whose contribution to ophthalmology or eye care merits recognition.
We encourage members to consider the people whose work, leadership or contribution has made a lasting difference and put them forward for Honorary Fellowship.
