Robot-assisted surgery and corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments will be among topics discussed at the British Society for Refractive Surgery (BSRS) annual conference (21–22 June, Leonardo Royal Hotel in Oxford).
BSRS vice president and optometrist, Professor Clare O’Donnell, shared with OT that there would be an optometrist-led interactive session at the two-day event.
“The topics covered at the conference will be of interest to any clinicians working within a refractive surgery setting,” she said.
“This conference can help you get up to speed to be able to discuss the latest developments and understand what is on offer within a surgical setting, as we know this is a continually evolving area,” O’Donnell added.
Developments will be explored during conference sessions include robot-assisted cataract surgery and artificial intelligence for implantable collamer lens sizing.
The keynote speakers at this year’s event will be Professor Paolo Vinciguerra, who discusses therapeutic laser ablation for complication management, and Professor Ramin Khoramnia, who will explore differences in intraocular lens material properties.
O’Donnell highlighted that there would be a session dedicated to the latest options for managing keratoconus, including corneal allogenic intrastromal ring segments.
“We have dedicated sessions that will enable attendees to get up to speed on the latest thinking around intraocular lens designs, new classifications and the outcomes being achieved,” she said.
The full programme for the conference is available online, with a reduced rate available for both optometrists and BSRS members.
