Registration opens for 100% Ophthalmology

Artificial intelligence and stroke-related visual impairment will be among topics covered as part of 100% Ophthalmology (28 February–2 March, Excel London).

Registration has opened for the event, which is co-located alongside 100% Optical.

100% Ophthalmology will bring together ophthalmologists, clinical directors, ophthalmic nurses and other eye care professionals for networking opportunities, education sessions, discussion workshops and peer reviews.

Scheduled education sessions include a presentation by Professor Pearse Keane on artificial intelligence within ophthalmology, a lecture by Professor Fiona Rowe about stroke-related visual impairment, and a talk on Dua’s layer by Professor Harminder Dua.

Specialist orthoptist, Alis Sejourne, will deliver an ‘orthoptics crash course’ for eye care professionals.

Keane emphasised the transformative role that AI has to play within ophthalmology.

“I look forward to sharing my team’s work in medical AI at 100% Ophthalmology, and engaging with clinicians and health professionals about the future of AI as a medical device in our field,” he said.

Rowe outlined that her session would focus on: “the newest information about the types of visual impairment seen after stroke, the impact of this, recommended management options and national policy guideline recommendations.”

Dua shared that his presentation would cover the story of the pre-Descemet layer – also known as the Dua layer.

“When I first reported on the pre-Descemet layer (Dua layer), it went through its fair share of comments and criticism. Today, a decade later, its place is well established in corneal surgery and pathology,” he said.

Sejourne highlighted that the practical focus of her session would: “help non-orthoptist clinicians better understand orthoptic roles, make confident referrals, and recognise key red flags to improve collaborative, patient-centred care.”
