About Us

Mission, Vision & Team

Ophthalmology24 is a non-profit project by Atanas Bogoev M.D. and Maria Cholakova-Sonrisa that was launched in early 2022 in an effort to help Ukrainian refugee ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents safely relocate across Europe.

Since then, the scope of the project has vastly expanded. Now, our extended mission is to provide clear and comprehensive information about eyecare, innovative treatments, upcoming events, and resident education by covering a wide spectrum of ophthalmology-related topics.
