The Cambridge Ophthalmological Symposium, facilitated by the Cambridge Eye Trust is unique among ophthalmological gatherings. A two day residential meeting bringing together basic scientists and clinicians to discuss a well-defined topic in detail under the chairmanship of leaders in that field.
The purpose of the symposium is, with the help of contributors of international repute, to take an aspect of ophthalmology, however small and interrogate it in depth so that those involved in basic science research can hear the views of clinicians and as importantly clinicians can come to understand the basic science behind their practice.
