Ophthalmologists, optometrists, and orthoptists are invited to expand their paediatric eye care expertise and refine their clinical approaches at the upcoming 3rd Asia-Pacific Strabismus and Paediatric Ophthalmology Society (APSPOS) Congress.

The Congress will run from 29 June – 1 July 2025 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

One of the standout sessions at this year’s Congress is expected to be on ‘Extended collaborative paediatric eyecare’, on Sunday 29 June. This workshop will provide a multidisciplinary approach to managing paediatric eye conditions in communities and hospital settings.

A hands-on session in Fresnel prism fitting and paediatric glasses and contact lens dispensing will follow. As early intervention and effective optical solutions are crucial in paediatric cases, this workshop is a must-attend for practitioners eager to optimise their patient outcomes.
