At the surface: Conjunctival disease

Clinicians from across the eye care professions, along with academics and key industry stakeholders, convened recently in Pula in northern Croatia to attend Pula 2018, a joint conference between the European Academy of Optometry and Optics (EAOO) and the Croatian University of Applied Sciences Velika Gorica. Representing more than 30 countries worldwide, delegates were invited to discuss and share the latest research, education and clinical practice in optometry, optics and dispensing, and vision science.

Opening the proceedings, Dr Thomas Freddo (Adjunct Professor at the MCP Health Sciences University in Worcester, Massachusetts) offered an overview of conjunctival disease and its management, based on his long career in optometric clinical practice.
