The International Society of Dacryology and Dry Eye (ISD-DE) XIVth Congress
29th – 31st May 2024, London, UK
ISD-DE aims to provide a worldwide role in education, training, research and promotion of dacryology and dry eye within ophthalmology and allied medical sub-specialities.
The XIVth Congress is designed to attract Trainee and Consultant Ophthalmologists specializing in Cornea, Ocular Surface, Oculoplastics, as well as Optometrists, Contact Lens Opticians, Ocularists, and Allied Healthcare Professionals.
Set to take place in London, the XIVth ISD-DE Congress will be organized by Ms. Jane Olver, President-Elect and Secretary of ISD-DE, in collaboration with the Council Members, the London Meeting Organizers, and the Scientific Committee. Esteemed scientists and clinicians will deliver presentations.
There will be Symposia, lectures, instructional workshops, case discussions, free papers, rapid fire presentations, and e-posters covering all facets of watery and dry eyes, encompassing research, clinical practices, and recent advancements.
The inaugural Schirmer Lecture will be presented by Professor Harminder Dua, and Professor Geoffrey Rose will deliver Dr. Juan Murube de Castillo Lecture.
County Hall venue
The venue is amazing, situated in the County Hall, overlooking the Thames and with iconic views immediately across the River Thames of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The whole of the South Bank is a lively area for arts, music, cinema, theatre, together with many restaurants and other entertainments, such as the London Eye and the Sea Life London Aquarium.
The entrance to the County Hall is on Belvedere Road – please note this IS NOT on the river side of the building, but in the rear of the building. The door to the venue is situated in the middle of the building, halfway down Belvedere Road opposite Forum Magnum Square and Starbucks.
The nearest stations to the venue are Waterloo and Westminster – both a pleasant 5 minutes’ walk away.
The Councillors and London Congress Organisers warmly invite you to attend.
