Dear friends and honoured guests,
It is with immense pleasure that we invite you to the NUH Ocular Surface, Dry Eyes & Dacryology Symposium come 20th to 22nd October 2022. Originally scheduled in 2020, Covid struck the whole world, broad and deep, inflicting a huge toll on the economy, the environment and humanity. While online education became popular, personal interaction and direct interpersonal transgenerational learning was severely compromised with pent up demand. There are some skills which are best transferred in person.
Our 3-day symposium put together by our Cornea & Ocular Surface, as well as Orbit & Oculofacial teams brings together all facets of state-of-the-art knowledge with essential learning for general ophthalmologists, cornea & ocular surface specialists and Oculoplastic surgeons with a special interest in diseases and surgery of the lacrimal drainage system.
With over 30 reputed National and International faculty in the field of Dacryology & Dry Eyes, the Symposium is partnered by the International Society of Dacryology & Dry Eyes (ISD-DE) and the Singapore Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (SSOPRS). Through this collaborative force, we have brought together great international expertise and knowledge, bridging the gap between variably privileged institutions, between general practitioners to quarternary referral specialists and young ophthalmologists with key opinion leaders from around the world.
We hope to whet your appetite in this knowledge feast, which includes a
We warmly invite you to come join us, share your experience, interact with the masters in their generosity of sharing, enrich your knowledge and take away pearls to better manage your patients!
