Final day of the Royal Eye Hospital Bicentenary Conference

Today is the final day of the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital Bicentenary.

Delegates from 23 countries have attended the four day event at the Manchester Conference Centre, featuring nearly one hundred prestigious expert speakers.

Talks and papers have featured a range of topics including paediatric ophthalmology, advances in glaucoma, uveitis and the history of ophthalmology and medicine in Manchester.

Mr Nicholas Jones, Consultant Ophthalmologist and Chair of the 1814 Committee said:

"We hope that those who have attended the conference are enjoying hearing from the wealth of experience speaking at the event. We enjoy sharing our pride in our hospital, one of the world's premier speciality eye hospitals and the second largest of its kind in Europe, and we hope our guests gain a lot from this experience."

Photos from the event will be available soon, and details on the public Open Day at the Royal Eye Hospital in October will soon be announced.
