Who are we?

The Oculoplastic Academy website

This site was conceived and designed by Dr. Pierre ESCALAS. Its purpose is to create a forum for the exchange of experiences to facilitate the acquisition of skills in the field of oculoplastics. It is a form of digital mentorship that allows younger colleagues to benefit from the experience of older colleagues. This transmission is unselfish and takes place within the framework of a non-profit association (ADACO: Association for the Dissemination of Advances in Ocular Surgery).

A solidarity contribution is requested to cover operating costs and to avoid sponsorship from industry partners or others. The information requested is necessary to verify that you are a physician; it will not be transmitted or sold to anyone, nor will it be used for advertising purposes. Only if you wish, a newsletter will be sent to you when new videos are released or when we organize a face-to-face congress, on the web (webinar) or mixed.

The content of the site is defined by Dr. ESCALAS, and to guarantee maximum rigor, a scientific committee also evaluates this content. The cumulative experience of these surgeons represents tens of thousands of interventions.

Consult the bylaws of the ADACO association, the publication in the official journal.
