The Orthokeratology Society of Oceania (OSO) is preparing to deliver its most ambitious conference yet, with OSO 2025 scheduled for 10 –12 October at RACV Royal Pines, Queensland.
Building on the enormous success of the 2023 event, this year’s three-day conference promises to be a comprehensive exploration of orthokeratology, myopia management, and specialty contact lenses. The event is designed to cater to practitioners at all levels, from experienced clinicians to those new to the field.
World-Class Expertise on Display
The conference will feature an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, each bringing unique perspectives to the evolving landscape of eye care.
