OCT expert opportunity at Optrafair

Optrafair Exhibitions
Optician and Heidelberg Engineering offer the opportunity to attend a CET event at this year’s Optrafair where interesting OCT cases submitted by readers will be analysed and explained

The door is still open to any reader who wants their OCT-based case study to be explained or discussed by assembled experts at a CET session at the 2015

Optrafair event in Birmingham (April 18-20). Each session will involve a peer discussion session followed by an OCT surgery where leading experts in ophthalmology and medical imaging can offer advice on capture, interpretation and management of cases. Here we show a selection of the sorts of submissions that might be considered by the panel.

Other parameters appeared acceptable, though, admittedly, my view of the disc was less than clear.
