There are few things we love more than seeing the comradery between eye surgeons, except perhaps seeing the ASO super eye socks on their shared adventures!

Special shout out to ophthalmologists Dr Madeleine Adams (QLD) and Dr Malvika Gupta (VIC) who sent in this photo from their trip to Bangalore, India.

The ASO super eye socks were created for our members to support the important work of the Crazy Socks 4 Docs charity in reducing stigma around the mental health and wellbeing of doctors.
