Ophthalmologists are invited to attend Focus VR 2024 – a two-day clinical symposium for ophthalmologists hosted by Alcon, from 22-23 March at the Hyatt Regency in Sydney.
Targeting the vitreoretinal community, Focus VR 2024 has been crafted to elevate clinical expertise with rapid-fire topics, immersive video presentations of surgical cases, and thought-provoking panel-led discussions that promote the sharing of innovative strategies regarding the art and craft of surgical management in complex vitreoretinal cases.
