The Future for Visual Impairment: Embracing Science, Technology and Success

There are two million people in the UK living with sight loss. and with an ageing population, the number of patients registered as blind or partially sighted is set to increase. Join us for a mini-symposium discussing technological advances to help with vision loss, carrying the flag for visually impaired sport and the development of prospective therapies to treat sight loss.

This event is being organised by the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, who, together with Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Trust, have a proposal to relocate to a King's Cross site in 2026, forming a new world-class integrated centre for eye care, research and education.

This event is supported by the SenSyT symposium 2019 and is a free-to-attend public event, open and accessible to all, whatever your background.

Speakers

• Chieko Asakawa, IBM Fellow
• Noel Thatcher, MBE, British Paralympian
• Andrew Dick, Director of UCL Institute of Ophthalmology
