In paediatrics, Lionel Kowal will look at how tropias should be managed by optometrists, and Rod Baker will provide expertise on emmetropisation and broader developmental considerations in early childhood, including how to approach a child with literacy difficulties in early primary school.
Professor Erica Fletcher will provide an update on the treatment and management of early age related macular degeneration, A/Professor Bang Bui will speak about how blood pressure alters glaucoma risk, and A/Professor Jennifer Craig will speak about the rapidly emerging field of dry eye disease, including detection and treatment options.
