ESASO RETINA ACADEMY
The Scientific Programme is now available for the ESASO Retina Academy 2014. The ESASO Retina Academy is a CME-accredited advanced educational meeting focused on diseases of the retina and will be held in Istanbul, Turkey, from 14-15 November 2014.
This year, the dynamic programme will include six different and innovative session formats to optimise learning and faculty interaction. These include ESASO MasterClasses for small groups, rapid fire breakfast sessions, ESASO-style debates and two new Retinamour case study sessions. Delegates will be provided with many styles of education and opportunities to collaborate with and learn from the expert faculty.
The programme offers advanced-level sessions on diabetic macular edema, vascular pathologies, macular edema in retinal vein occlusions and the management of retinal non-perfusion, AMD and macular disorders. The international faculty come from leading institutions around the globe and will lead sessions that are highly interactive and varied in format across the two days.
Highlights
Highlights of this year’s meeting include two prestigious Lectio Magistralis (keynote lectures). The first on Idiopathic chorioretinal inflammatory diseases will be led by Laurence Yannuzzi (USA), professor of clinical ophthalmology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, vice-chairman and director of The Retinal Research Center of the Manhattan Eye, Ear & Throat Hospital, and founder and president of The Macula Foundation.
The second will be on Neovascular Glaucoma and delivered by Rupert Bourne (UK), consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Huntingdon Glaucoma Diagnostic & Research Centre and Moorfields Eye Hospital, professor of ophthalmology at Anglia Ruskin University and honorary consultant ophthalmic surgeon at Addenbrooke's Hospital.
A further highlight is the introduction of the Retinamour case study sessions where delegates may submit case studies for presentation and discussion.
The chairman of the Scientific Committee, Prof Francesco Bandello, chairman, Department of Ophthalmology, Scientific Institute San Raffaele, Milan, Italy, said: "The Scientific Committee is delighted to welcome the most prestigious faculty to the ESASO Retina Academy 2014. This meeting is unique in its varied formats and commitment to delegate learning. We are very focused on clinical outcomes and bring many real-world cases for discussion. We aim to provide every delegate with an opportunity to interact with our faculty and involve themselves in the sessions to challenge their current clinical practice with latest techniques and experiences from around the world."
