Pregnancy considerations in women with eye disease: a day of obstetrics for ophthalmologists

Ophthalmic conditions are common in women of childbearing age, and treatments for these are evolving at a fast pace. When these women become pregnant, a common source of anxiety is both the potential continuation of these medications, as well as what the impact on pregnancy and delivery might be.

Directed by Charlotte Frise, Consultant Obstetric Physician based at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in London, and featuring leading speakers who are passionate about this topic, this course aims to cover all of these aspects in detail.

The course will be in hybrid format, with live presentations from speakers attending in person.

A full programme will appear on this page in due course.
