Welcome to 2026—with a lot happening at the RANZCO Eye Museum.
This year we are delighted to expand how we share the stories, people and artefacts that shape our ophthalmic heritage.
The RANZCO Eye Museum is going social and is now on Instagram.
Follow us at @ranzcoeyemuseum and watch for weekly content beginning March 2026. We look forward to sharing highlights from the collection, historical insights, featured objects and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Museum.
One of the presentations we will be featuring explores the fascinating history of Kohl pigment as both a cosmetic and a remedy for lid and eye disease — an example drawn from the 2025 historic posters exhibited at the Melbourne Congress.
