Providing a forum for neuro-ophthalmologists
Saturday, 9 January 2016
Great Lakes Institute of Management founder and dean Bala V Balachandran released the abstract CD of the symposium.
The main objective of the symposium is to provide a forum for neuro ophthalmologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists, researchers and students to exchange ideas, to communicate new developments, discuss research findings and share the best global practices in the challenging field of neuro ophthalmology.
There are only a few practicing neuro ophthalmologists available globally and in India, very few ophthalmic institutions offer these specialty services.
Sankara Nethralaya, being a tertiary care referral ophthalmic organisation, has exposure to a lot of complicated ophthalmic diseases and neuro ophthalmology.
International speakers Dr Andrew Lee and Dr Prem Subramanian from USA, leading neuro ophthalmologists across the globe Dr Clement Tan, Dr Dan Milea and Dr Sharon Tow from Singapore, leading neurologists in India Dr G Arjundas, Dr Vivek Lal and Dr Lekha Pandit, neurosurgeons Dr Suresh Bapu and Dr Siddharth Ghosh are participating in the symposium.
Sankara Nethralaya founder and chairman emeritus Dr S S Badrinath and Deputy Director of Neuro Ophthalmology at Sankara Nethralalya Dr S Ambika were present at the inaugural session.
