All welcome to CCLS 2019

Keynote speakers include Professor Graham Barrett (Australia), inventor of the Barrett Formula for IOL calculation; Dr Ian Flitcroft (Ireland), a paediatric ophthalmologist with a special interest in myopia management; Mark Koszek (Australia), who specialises in contact lenses and ocular surface disease; and Dr Art Epstein (US), who has extensive experience in dry eye, anterior segment and clinical research (see following story, Meet the speakers, for more).

As well as the main presentation, there are four different workshops to choose from at CCLS19: Scleral lenses: first principles to high tech; The zen of dry eye with Dr Epstein; Advanced contact lens fitting with Paul Rose and others; and Practical myopia management and case discussion.

There’s no such thing as a CCLS conference without a friendly social element and this year is no exception. As well as the welcome function on the Thursday evening, the committee has planned a relaxed Friday night dinner (included as part of your registration fee) at The Terrace Kitchen, just a short walk from the Novotel, offering an opportunity to catch up and network with colleagues in a relaxed, informal setting. The conference proper starts on Friday 1 March with breakfast at 8am in the trade area (also included), while Saturday’s sessions kick off at 8.30am. The conference ends on Saturday at 5pm.
