Women breaking barriers, building futures

This year’s Women in Vision Aotearoa three-day conference was nothing short of extraordinary. Set against Queenstown’s breathtaking backdrop, it brought together female ophthalmologists, registrars, optometrists, junior doctors as well as medical and optometry students for an event unlike any other. More than a conference, it was a celebration of connection, empowerment and a shared vision to advance eye health and equity in our community. It was a privilege to co-organise this landmark event alongside Dr Ruhella Hossain, with the vision and leadership of Professor Helen Danesh-Meyer and Drs Liz Insull and Pragnya Jagadish, the inspirational founders of Women in Vision Aotearoa.
