Dear IGR readers,
The World Glaucoma Association is looking forward to providing you with new educational resources in the new year and to meeting you in-person again for the 10th World Glaucoma Congress (WGC-2023) taking place in Rome, Italy, from June 28 – July 1. We encourage you to meet and catch up with your colleagues and industry supporters in the glaucoma field. This 10th Anniversary WGC is shaping up to one of the most engaging and interactive experiences for 2023. You do not want to miss it.
Abstract submission for WGC-2023 closed on January 16 with a record number of 983 abstracts submitted. This congress promises to have a very exciting and extensive scientific program. If you are a member of one of our affiliated glaucoma societies, you benefit from a reduced registration fee. Visit our website for more information: Registration | WGC-2023 (worldglaucomacongress.org).
On November 5, 2022, we held the ninth edition of the WGA Global Webinars. The webinar on ‘All About Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)’ was viewed by over 1,000 participants. On January 26, 2023, we held the fourth edition of the WGA Surgical Grand Rounds on ‘How to Manage Failing/Failed Filter’ and ‘Tube Revisions to Restore Flow’. The recorded sessions can be accessed by everyone with a WGA#One account on our website here.
The new Fundamental Questions in Glaucoma video lecture by Drs. Tom Eke and Ahmad Khalil are now available on our website. Everyone with a WGA#One account is able to access the video and other educational resources through the WGA website.
