Webinar– A PATH TO A NEW VISION: What Now? Optimizing Our New Normal

A PATH TO A NEW VISION: What Now? Optimizing Our New Normal

Wondering what the next few months holds for you? Uncertain about how to best approach the reopening phase to come? We hope to learn from two countries who are ahead of us on this journey. We will be joined on this week’s webinar by Prof Tien Wong, Medical Director of the Singapore National Eye Center, who will review strategies and future plans, new models of care and the move toward digital ophthalmology in Singapore and at the Singapore National Eye Centre. We are also honoured to welcome A/Prof Heather Mack, President of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists, who will share the experience and learnings from those countries. Finally, our moderator Dr. Guillermo Rocha will welcome Dr’s Yvonne Buys and Salina Teja who will share a clinic reopening checklist and a surgical prioritization tool, developed by COS, to aid members in moving forward in the next phase.
