Stepping into a new era of ophthalmology at EURETINA 2022

The 2022 22nd European Society of Retina Specialists (EURETINA) Congress is slated for September 1 to 4 in the Congress Centre Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany.

This is a hybrid meeting that allows attendees to participate either in person or virtually. Either way, this congress offers a wealth of information to specialists covering all aspects of retinal diseases.

Alistair Laidlaw, EURETINA president and retinal surgeon at St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, and Maidstone Hospital, Kent, UK, is eagerly anticipating the conference.

“The program in Hamburg boasts a cutting-edge scientific program. With a choice of more than 100 EURETINA sessions, symposia, and instructional courses covering all subspecialty themes, there is something at EURETINA 22 for everyone,” he commented.

He also pointed out that with plans progressing rapidly for the first EURETINA FEBO Retina subspecialty examination, instructional courses targeting the core exam content will be offered.

Another new addition this year, a Saturday night EURETINA Party that is open to all delegates, is planned for Saturday evening.
