Visitors at Optrafair 20/20 (April 4-6, 2020) will be able to build their clinical knowledge base in ophthalmology thanks to new additions to the content programme.
Femto-second laser cataract surgery performed by consultant ophthalmic surgeon professor Sunil Shah at Midland Eye will be streamed live to views in the Iris arena of the exhibition. Professor Shah will then host a question and answer session in the new Ophthalmology Theatre.
‘This is a major coup for Optrafair 20/20,’ said David Ellison, FMO operations director. ‘Sunil will be one of many world-class speakers at Optrafair 20/20, where the focus is firmly on technology.’
The recent addition of SpaMedica as the event’s ophthalmology partner bolsters the clinical offering. The company is one of the UK’s main providers of NHS ophthalmology services, providing NHS cataract surgery, AMD treatments and YAG capsulotomy. It operates a cataract post-op accreditation schemes in conjunction with community optometrists, who provide 71% of post-op assessments for the company.
