Each participant will present a 2 minutes case highlighting:
– Key surgical pearls
– Innovative techniques
– Challenging clinical scenarios
The session will be judged by two expert cataract coaches.
We invite ophthalmologists to submit their cases for inclusion. This is a unique opportunity to showcase valuable clinical insights in a focused and engaging format.

13. The factors and criteria for successful submission and acceptance are:
* Topic of interest – we attempt to have most topics of interest covered by courses, trying to avoid having repetition of the same topic.
* Level of the course stated – basic/advanced.
* Selected topics as identified by the scientific committee may result in courses to be invited if no submissions have been received on those topics.
* Courses with international faculty from different countries have a higher chance of acceptance.
* Courses that are novel and have not yet been held may stand a higher chance of acceptance.
* The submission should be as complete and informative as possible about course content; short or unclear submissions are unlikely to be successful.
– All abstracts must be submitted in the presenting author’s name
– The results section must be sufficiently detailed to support the conclusions
– The Scientific Committee will only accept abstracts that include completed findings or conclusions
– Abstracts must not contain references or acknowledgments
– When using acronyms or abbreviations for the first time, spell them out fully and place the acronym in parentheses. The abbreviation may be used thereafter
