The Cornea and Contact Lens Society’s (CCLS’s) mix-tape-themed conference is looking ‘Dressed For Success’, offering the latest research and best practices, opportunities to connect and, of course, plenty of fun!
This year, CCLS has taken the entire Wellington Harbourside Function Centre (formerly Mac’s) venue for its two-day conference from 22-23 March. “Harbourside is perfect as we will have dedicated spaces for plenary sessions, workshops and the sponsors’ area. The central location is also a plus, with a good choice of hotels and restaurants nearby,” said CCLS president Adele Jefferies, inviting optometrists and ophthalmologists from around the country to join them.
The conference's welcome function starts in the sponsors’ area at 5pm on Thursday 21 March, followed by a day packed with sessions, workshops, a specialists’ round table and the CCLS ‘world-famous’ dinner at the Wharewaka Function Centre on the Friday. More sessions, workshops and a second-round table will follow on the Saturday. “You will leave the event feeling energised and excited, with new ideas playing in your mind!” said Jefferies.
Simply the best
Sessions will cover ocular therapeutics, myopia management, dry eye, contact lenses and anterior segment surgery, featuring a lineup of prominent international and local speakers, including University of Auckland researchers Drs Kalika Bandamwar and Isabella Cheung, plus Jo Dykgraaf, Catherine Jennings and Professor Jennifer Craig, head of the Ocular Surface Laboratory. CCLS favourites Adele Jefferies, Alex Petty, Richard Johnson and Eleisha Dudson will also make a welcome return.
