The 52nd Annual Congress of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) has been moved to a virtual format.
The College celebrated its 50th birthday at the Sydney Congress in 2019 but since that time, the event has “fallen victim to the uncertainties of COVID-19”.
We are looking forward to presenting the very best in ophthalmic science and research in a virtual setting from 26 February to 1 March 2022
In a statement the College said, “We are looking forward to presenting the very best in ophthalmic science and research in a virtual setting from 26 February to 1 March 2022.
“The 52nd RANZCO Annual Congress will be an opportunity to look towards the next 50 years of science, ophthalmology and the College; and as everyone knows (or should know), life begins after you turn 50. The Congress will provide a robust array of science and thought-provoking content.”
