Trends in Ophthalmology 2024 was the 2nd consecutive Trends in Ophthalmology meeting to held at the Royal Society of Medicine, London. It was a very enjoyable meeting, with lots of up to date knowledge shared by the speakers. It was particularly wonderful to be see familiar faces and meet face to face with the organisers, speakers, delegates and industry sponsors, all of whom contributed to making the meeting so successful.
On Day 1, challenging clinical cases were provided by our nationally renowned Medical Eye Unit. There were also updates on ‘Trends’ in Paediatric Ophthalmology, Anterior Segment Medicine & Surgery and Strabismus management. The day ended with a very engaging Michael Sanders lecture on inherited retinal diseases given by Prof Omar Mahroo, Professor of Retinal Neuroscience, University College London. The day ended with a small drinks reception in the historical ENT room. Speakers and Chairs were treated to a three course dinner in the airy, central Atrium.
On Day 2, updates on ‘Trends’ in Cataract Surgery and Medical Retina were presented, with the Medical Retina speakers debating for and against potentially controversial management options.
The Catherine Heatley medal was awarded to Mr Dun Jack Fu who gave a wonderful talk on using a deep learning approach for next-generation biomarkers of age-related macular degeneration. The day ended with six sub-specialty ‘Cases of the Year’ which generated a lot of lively discussion.
A pre-dinner drinks reception was held in the ENT Room in the evening on Thursday 7 March, in this lovely wood-panelled event space with small but a fascinating display of ENT medical equipment.
The Speakers Dinner followed in the evening in the beautiful Atrium.
