After a long absence of live events, the ophthalmic industry has welcomed the news that the 2020 Save Sight Society symposium is on.
Aimed at ophthalmologists and optometrists, the meeting will be held at the Fisher & Paykel Clinical Educational Centre at Auckland University in Grafton, Auckland, on Friday 20 November. This year’s theme is Clinical pearls and updates with new sciences and perspectives in the era of Covid-19, delivered via a mix of presentations and rapid-fire sessions.
Save Sight Society chair Dr Leo Sheck said he is looking forward to seeing colleagues from near and far and hear their experiences from this difficult year. “I imagine many of us will feel the same about the lack of face-to-face contact with colleagues, so this conference will be an ideal opportunity for us to catch up, share our experiences and plan for 2021.”
The symposium’s format will be similar to past conferences, said Dr Sheck, with update lectures on various subspecialties combined with free papers showcasing New Zealand’s ophthalmic research, plus a section on how New Zealand eyecare professionals dealt with the challenges of Covid-19. “Professor Charles McGhee and his team will be leading the scientific aspect of the conference, so you can expect top notch content.”
