The Future of Ophthalmology: Innovations and Visions
The 2024 Annual Congress of the Swiss Society of Ophthalmology (SSO) is held under the prism of visions and innovations for the future of ophthalmology. One of the highlights of this congress will undoubtedly be the Goldmann Lecture, presented by Prof. Dr. med. Pearse Keane, London. His presentation, entitled “Transforming Ophthalmology with AI”, promises a fascinating insight into how artificial intelligence can revolutionize ophthalmology. The Young Swiss Ophthalmologists (YSO) symposium will also be dedicated to this exciting and topical topic.
This year again, the scientific program was composed and organized under the direction of Prof. Dr. Dr. med. Sandrine Zweifel.
