Registration Payments
All registrations must be made online. The WOC2020 will not process registrations that do not include payment information, and receipt of partial registration does not guarantee the registration rate.
The ICO reserves the right to review each registration for the appropriateness of the selected registration category and make any necessary corrections. For example, a full-time faculty member of ophthalmology that chooses the Accompanying Person or Medical Student rate will be corrected upon review. The ICO reserves the right to charge his/her credit card the difference in registration fees.
