YO programme continues to evolve with large attendance
The 2014 Young Ophthalmologists Programme drew a very large crowd of ophthalmologists of all ages.
Entitled “Starting Phaco,” the programme lasted from 8:30 until 16:00, with 11 different presentations and a wide variety of videos. Particularly interesting was the “Learning from the Learners” element. This included videos submitted by trainee ophthalmologists from across Europe in which intraoperative complications were encountered.
“I greatly admire the courage displayed by the young ophthalmologists in training who submitted their complication videos and stood up here to present them to a large group of their peers,” said Dr Peter Barry, Ireland, one of the moderators of the afternoon session. “It isn’t easy to come forward with this type of material, but I think this is a good context in which to do so.”
