Rosen Symposium 2020
Cataract and Refractive
Friday May 1st, 2020
The Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts
The Queen's University Department of Ophthalmology is excited to present the 16th Annual Rosen Symposium on Cataract and Refractive.
In the year “twenty twenty,” surely there is no better topic for the annual Rosen Symposium than cataract and refractive surgery!
Since many attendees may not be familiar with refractive surgery, a number of talks will be focusing on information relevant to comprehensive ophthalmologists and optometrists.
As a change from previous years, this year's format will feature shorter presentations that will cover a wider range of topics in cataract and refractive. Aditionally, in the afternoon we will be hosting an hour-long complicated case symposium where we discuss attendee-submitted videos/presentations (details to be announced soon).

14th Annual Rosen Day Symposium: Retina
The 2018 Rosen Day Symposium took place on May 11th, and covered the topic of Retina. We had guest lecturers Dr. Tien Wong from the Singapore National Eye Centre, Dr Alan Cruess from Dalhousie University, and Dr Gaurav Shah from the Retina Institute.
We had a sell-out crowd, with terrific talks ranging from new concepts in hypertensive retinopathy, overviews of the current gold standards in managing conditions like retinal vein occlusions and macular degeneration, to disruptive innovation in ophthalmology and the latest innovations in diagnostic imaging.
Thanks to everyone who was able to attend!
