The 2026 Neuro-Orbital Masterclass: State of the Art
The 2026 Neuro-Orbital Masterclass: State of the Art
Location
Date
Description
In 2019 the St John Ophthalmic Association hosted the first NeuroOrbital Masterclass. In 2024 it organised the first Masterclasses in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Ophthalmology, addressed by Professor Jefferey Hinton, regarded as the pioneering scientist behind AI.
Both Masterclasses received strong reviews, and in 2026 the NeuroOrbital Masterclass is back. Join us to learn how complex neuro-orbital are tackled, and how technology, AI, and B'rain-computer interfaces' can play a role. Once again, we have a panel of acclaimed speakers, with delegates from across the world.
Reception and dinner (1845 - 2130) is hosted at the RSM after the Masterclass for those wishing to purchase a ticket.
There are reduced rates for full members of ESOPRS, BOPSS, BPARAS, and BSBS.
