200 ophthalmologists attended the fourth annual Ophthalmology Updates! Conference held at the Westin Hotel, Sydney on 24-25 August 2019. Special invited speakers included Professor Lawrence Yannuzzi in live telecast from New York presenting the Inaugural Ophthalmology Updates! Award Lecture) on the Legend of Drusen, Medical Retina Patterns Not to Miss and an interactive Quiz. Other highlights included Professor Ian Morgan discussing the evidence for myopia epidemiology, Dr James Muecke presenting his Sight for All program and a Great Debate between Professors Paul Mitchell and Mark Gillies on the importance of OCTA vs Fluorescein angiography and anti-VEGF for diabetic macular oedema. Yet again delegates appreciated the casual and interactive nature of the sessions, and the live “Eventpoll”. Media coverage by Insight, Mivision, Eye2Eye (RANZCO), Eyewatch (ASO) were all highly favourable. On Saturday night there was a wonderful private jewellery appreciation at Tiffany & Co, followed by an exclusive dinner at Restaurant Hubert.
