ANZSRS 2019 Retina Symposium

Invitation

On behalf of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Retinal Specialists, we would like to invite you to the annual scientific meeting. The meeting will return to Sydney this year.  We are again privileged to have an international guest speaker - Dr Lee Jampol will be delivering the Neil Della memorial lecture.  Dr Jampol has published widely across many topics in retina including inflammatory disorders of the posterior segment, retinal vascular disease and has played an important role in the recent protocol S data from the DRCRNet. 

The meeting this year will see some changes to the format.  There are more dedicated lectures providing updates on important subjects that have received recent attention in the literature.  The panel discussions have been reduced in number but will still be an excellent opportunity to gauge the breadth of treatment strategies for common sight threatening conditions.  As always, audience participation will be encouraged and we hope that this meeting will provide delegates with a solid update on modern retinal practice.
