The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) 53rd Annual Scientific Congress will deliver four days of in-person interaction in Brisbane, as well as the opportunity to tune-in live online, from 28 October to 1 November 2022. RANZCO will also present a valuable opportunity to explore the latest products, technologies and services available to ophthalmology.
Suppliers from around the country are excited to physically showcase the latest and greatest equipment offerings to scores of eager ophthalmologists expected to fill the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre for RANZCO Congress. Attendees can expect to observe live demonstrations, discuss the evidence behind new technologies and treatments, and compare and contrast products.
This hybrid event will also include a highquality scientific program with innovative presentation formats. Among hosted breakfasts, plenaries, poster sessions and the annual general meeting, will be inspiring Named Lectures – Dame Ida Mann, Council, Sir Norman Gregg and Fred Hollows – and Update Lectures across uveitis, cornea, oncology, glaucoma, retina and cataract. The afternoon sessions will feature rapid fire, professional development, and general ophthalmology content.
To prepare yourself for the buzz of the Exhibition Hall, the following pages provide a sneak peek into the options available to improve workflows, margins and patient outcomes. Read up on them here, then explore face-to-face at the upcoming event.

Spectralis OCT
Heidelberg Engineering’s new Spectralis optical coherence tomography (OCT) introduces Shift technology, the latest addition to the core DNA that optimises performance without sacrificing quality, delivering individualised patient care.
The 125 kHz scan speed allows you to increase efficiency in acquisition of OCT Angiography by up to 30% without any clinically relevant loss in image quality when compared to the standard 85 kHz scan speed. The faster acquisition of images allows visualisation of flow by minimising artefacts due to natural eye motion, resulting in sharp and detailed images of even miniscule capillaries.
The 85 kHz scan speed helps you balance efficient workflow and high-quality imaging across all applications and scan patterns.
The 20 kHz scan speed offers you improved image quality due to higher sensitivity and better signal-to-noise ratio, resolving details even in eyes with media opacities.
