Unfortunately due to escalating COVID-19 infections and restrictions, the trustees & organisers of Eyehope have taken the difficult decision to change the forthcoming 47th Trends in Ophthalmology meeting to a one day online meeting. Please see the Trends 2022 meeting page for the revised programme .
Registration for this meeting will be via Eventbrite. We will be charging a £30 donation towards our Eyehope charity which supports ophthalmic research, education and training.

Challenging clinical cases will be provided by our nationally renowned Medical Eye Unit. There will also be updates on ‘trends’ in paediatric ophthalmology, corneal and cataract surgery and medical retina.

The 45th Trends meeting included a grand ball and a fabulous talk from the Rayner and Ridley families. The meeting was very well attended with over 180 delegates on both days. The evaluation, based on over 100 returned surveys, shows that 98% of delegates thought the meeting overall was very good to excellent.

Eyehope – The Charity
The charity Eyehope was formed in 2007 by a group of leading London ophthalmologists. Our Trustees and volunteers are passionate about improving the treatment and care for eye disease. In 2019 Eyehope became a Charity Incorporated Organisation.
Eyehope funds research into all causes of sight loss. Traditionally, funding for sight problems has been aimed at the commoner causes of visual impairment. We are committed to researching all conditions, no matter how rare. This will directly improve patient treatment and enhance the quality of people’s lives. Our current research projects include Cataract Surgery and Macular Degeneration.
Eyehope supports health professionals with a wide variety of training needs so they can deliver better patient care. We run national courses to optimise the knowledge and skills of those treating eye conditions.
Eyehope’s aim is to enable medical teams to give the best possible care to all patients.
