Journée Montpelliéraine d'Ophtalmologie (JMO 2026) is the 11th edition of a one-day conference for eye-care professionals, held on 14 November 2026 in Montpellier, in the Occitania region of southern France. The event is organised for specialists rather than the general public, so it suits ophthalmologists, orthoptists and others working in eye care who want to keep up with their field.
About the day
The programme focuses on the latest medical advances and technology in ophthalmology. Sessions are built around case studies, interactive quizzes and surgical videos, a format that invites participants to take part rather than only listen. A dedicated orthoptics session adds a strand for orthoptic professionals.
The venue
The conference takes place at the Centre des Congrès de Palavas-les-Flots, known as the Phare de la Méditerranée. Palavas-les-Flots is a seaside town on the Mediterranean coast, a short distance from Montpellier, so attendees travelling from the city can combine the professional day with a view of the sea.
