About this Event
Eyehope & St Thomas' Faculty invite you to join us at the 52nd 'Trends in Ophthalmology' meeting, for two days of exciting discussions and presentations focusing on ophthalmic 'Trends' & 'Updates'. There will also be great networking opportunities with leading experts in the field, ably supported by a wide range of exhibitors.
This in-person event will be held on Thursday 11th and Friday 12th March 2027 at the prestigious 1 Wimpole Street conference venue (also home to the Royal Society of Medicine) in central London.
In response to delegate feedback, we have increased the number of sub-specialties represented, whilst maintaining the core subspecialties and a session on 'Emergency Ophthalmology' . There will be two eponymous lectures, the Harold Ridley lecture on the Thursday, and the South London Research Prize lecture on the Friday. The event will start with the always stimulating, Medical Eye Unit cases on Thursday morning and end on Friday afternoon with the very popular & challenging ‘Cases of the Year'!
There will be a drinks reception on the Thursday evening to which all speakers, chairs, delegates & exhibitors are cordially invited.
Delegates are encouraged to educate & update themselves about new products displayed at the exhibitor stands and to also take part in the daily quiz, which tests learning acquired.
