About

 

 

The topics and focus of every conference held differs. This year's focus will be Cornea, cataracts, vitreoretinal surgery and ophthalmology research.
The Latest Updates in Ophthalmology Conferences have inspired greater camaraderie among the regional and international ophthalmologists. Now, professionals from all around the world, refer patients to Barbados for specialty treatment and recommend their colleagues to speak at the conference. We look forward to the development many more trustful relationships in our 2019 conference. Additionally the conference opens more doors for our local ophthalmologists in training who, after making stellar presentations at the conference, have been offered fellowship positions at prestigious institutions such as the Moorfields Eye Hospital in London and the University of Toronto.
