The SOA-AOC e-Symposium 2021
With the pandemic still in force and healthcare in the spotlight, it is also timely to focus on eye health matters, especially when myopia is on the rise with lockdowns and home-based work or schooling.
This year, the Singapore Optometric Association is honoured to be hosting the digital Asia Optometric Congress, on the 4-5th May 2021. The theme is Myopia Management and Ortho K.
The program features topics that would help any eye care practitioner keen to go beyond vision correction to a holistic view of myopia management. Leading experts in myopia and epidemiology will share the latest in research and development as well as panel discussions on ideas that you will find useful in practice.
