The macula course
The 2025 Macula course took place from 2 - 5 June. To be notified when the 2026 course date is confirmed, please join the waiting list below.
Retinal diseases are a major cause of blindness. Diagnostic investigations, understanding of disease mechanisms, new therapies, and the evidence base, have all evolved rapidly in recent years, with greater advances expected in the coming decade.
The Moorfields macula course has been running for over three decades with a pause during the COVID pandemic. The course restarted in 2022 as a 3-day hybrid course and was extended to 4 days in 2023 in response to delegate feedback.
The speakers are recognised experts, many having contributed to major advances in their fields, and there will be opportunity for interaction both on site and virtually.
The course aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of retinal and macular diseases and their management, including new developments.
