SOC conference: Leaders of the pack

Another successful Scottish Optical Conference (SOC, and formally known as SCLOSS) took place at the end of last year. The sell-out event included lectures and workshops on a diverse range of topics, ranging from dry disease management and myopia therapy through to the latest in technological innovation and management practice. One aspect I was very impressed by this year was the exhibition. The organisers had, as one would hope, included all the leading industry players, but had also found room for some interesting entrepreneurs who were able to show delegates their latest ideas.

Astute readers may remember Michelle Snowball from her hand-held meibography pen she wrote about some years back (Optician 02.06.15). With the same imagination that led her to develop the pen during her pre-reg year, Snowball, now a PhD student, has come up with a card game aimed at helping students and practitioners consolidate their clinical knowledge.
