This Ophthalmology Meeting brings together two expert consultant ophthalmologists who discuss two different topics. Mr Obeda Kailani discusses Ocular surface disease in Glaucoma and how this impacts glaucoma patient treatments and surgeries. Mr Scott Robbie then goes on to discuss the growing trend of Immediate Bilateral Sequential Cataract Surgery where surgeons are carrying out cataract procedures for both eyes in the one operation. Ms Artemis Matsou chairs the meeting and joins the speakers to conclude the session with a panel discussion.
