Event report: Keeping up with OCT

The second National OCT conference, organised by Topcon UK, provided two days of lectures and workshops delivered by key leaders and experts from the ophthalmology and optometry worlds. Along with the plethora of CET points available, delegates also had the opportunity to attend the conference dinner which included stand-up from optometrist Sarah Morgan.

Health assessment

The breadth of clinical uses for OCT was a key theme at this year’s conference. OCT is now being used in practically every element of ophthalmology, from anterior or posterior tumour assessment to neuro-ophthalmology, paediatric eye care and general medical retina. Typically, OCT provides an additional source of information to add to the clinical picture and is less seen now as a stand-alone tool.
