We’re delighted to announce that we will be hosting an event again next year as part of Eyecare 2020, provided in partnership with the University of Edinburgh.
To be held in Glasgow on Monday 20 January, the theme of the symposium and workshop will be 'AI and new technologies' in ophthalmology.
Book now for a packed day of talks and workshops on artificial intelligence and the latest technologies in ophthalmology. Delegates will improve their knowledge of the possibilities of AI in ophthalmology and its implications for diagnosis of various conditions. There will also be workshops providing hands-on experience of taking and grading anterior images using a digital slit lamp and the chance to find out more about and try out the latest assistive technologies for the visually impaired.
Book HERE, selecting 'Eye News Ophthalmology Symposium'.

There will then be discussion of grading the severity of the pathology, diagnosis and treatment.
Workshop 2: Assistive technology solutions in practice – Sight & Sound technology: This interactive session will allow delegates to gain an understanding of the technology solutions available to those with blindness and low vision, have some hands on experience, and learn how to further support their low vision patients.
