Specsavers PAC 2023
Join us at ICC Birmingham this autumn
Attracting more than 2,000 optics and audiology delegates, the Specsavers’ Professional Advancement Conference has delivered world-class clinical education and professional development for almost 30 years.
From Glaucoma shared care, myopia management to OCT progression analysis, post-cataract care and anterior eye conditions, as well as wellbeing sessions and audiology tracks, there’s sure to be something for everyone.
Glaucoma care takes centre stage
Professor Anthony King, Chairman of Glaucoma UK, will be discussing the current challenges and future prospects for glaucoma care and Professor Roshini Sanders and Cindy Ogundo will be speaking about Glaucoma shared care in practice and LASIK learnings.
‘Glaucoma is the most preventable cause of blindness in the UK, provided early detection and treatment is in place. Prevention must be a priority for us all and together we need to reach millions of people with important messages about looking after their eyes,’
Doug Perkins, Chairman and Founder of Specsavers
