She will return to encourage discussion on cutting-edge treatments in anterior segment surgery. Additionally, Dr. Ormonde will deliver the concluding lecture of the conference, at which she will throw new light on cataract surgery.
Roman Serebrianik, the ACO’s own Head of Primary and Specialist Care Services, will facilitate a highly interactive session on the topic of contact lenses: Are there solutions for all contact lenses or for all contact lens problems?

The diverse range of topics presented on Saturday 24 November will also include new modes of drug delivery, nanomedicine, RGP lens fitting and neuro-ophthalmology.
Sunday morning will provide delegates with the opportunity to become absorbed by the history of ophthalmic medicine. Across the day sessions will focus on AMD, skin conditions and corneal surgery.
