(2) Advances in Keratoconus Management: Understanding the Role of Corneal Crosslinking with Dr Erica Darian-Smith
(3) MIGS in the spotlight with Dr Noor Ali including a practical session - iStent drylab where small groups can come in and have a go at firing some iStents into a synthetic eye.
Expect an engaging and interactive session with valuable insights, followed by networking opportunities. Drinks and food will be provided throughout the evening - Thanks to our lovely sponsors at Glaukos.

Learning Objectives
- Understand how vitreomacular traction (VMT) develops and contributes to macular hole formation
- Recognise the stages of macular hole progression, from VMT to full-thickness holes

- Identify key clinical signs and symptoms of keratoconus – Recognise early and advanced manifestations such as irregular astigmatism, scarring, and corneal cone shape
- Utilize advanced diagnostic techniques for keratoconus – Demonstrate the use of corneal topography, pachymetry, and Epithelial OCT to assess the severity and progression of keratoconus
- Assess patient eligibility for corneal crosslinking (CXL) – Determine appropriate candidates for CXL based on corneal thickness, progression of disease, and age
- Differentiate between CXL techniques – Compare traditional and accelerated CXL methods and explore the advantages and limitations of each approach. EPI ON vs EPI OFF
- Become familar with MIGS devices and technologies
- Understand the role of MIGS in the multidisciplinary approach to glaucoma care
