Towards the end of 2014 on a cold foggy evening, in a small room in Noida, India, six women ophthalmologists (Dr Mohita Sharma, Dr Anupama Upasani , Dr Aarti Nangia ,Dr Sonika Gupta, Dr Prerna Matta, Dr Aarushi Garg) met over a cup of coffee with this idea of creating a forum for improving the professional environment of women ophthalmologists.Following this , the idea was shared with several women ophthalmologists all over India and on February 6, 2015, a meeting was held during All India Ophthalmologists Society (AIOS) Annual conference in New Delhi, India and WOS was formally formed.

Rest in history………. and today we are a strong organization with a rapidly increasing membership.
