Welcome
Dear colleagues,
It is our great pleasure welcoming you to the 14th ISOPT Clinical meeting in Tel Aviv, Israel.
This year's meeting will focus on drugs and devices as part of the ophthalmologist tool box dealing with ailments of the eye. Ophthalmology had been traditionally a surgical field. Over the last decades a slow, but significant revolution took place with the introduction of new drugs utilizing invasive modes of delivery to the eye. In addition, new devices and drug/device combinations are being launched and change the way we practice ophthalmology today.
The vision of ISOPT Clinical had evolved since 1995 centering on:
-
Increasing knowledge and awareness of drug utilization in ophthalmology
-
Reflecting innovations and their application in daily practice
-
Bridging the present to the future
This will be reflected in ISOPT Clinical mission:
-
Discussion of treatment algorithms in major ophthalmic indications
-
Implement data from clinical studies for daily practice
-
Facilitate innovation – connecting innovators with clinicians
-
Encourage meetings of young innovators with the pharma industry
ISOPT Clinical offers a relevant and updated scientific program in a relaxed atmosphere leading to direct interactions of its delegates. We are sure that Interaction with colleagues from many different countries will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and will be personally rewarding.
We welcome you to Tel Aviv,
