Speakers and topics for the evening:

• Andrew Riley  I  GLP-1 Therapies, Oculoplastics and Retina 

This session explores the ophthalmic impact of GLP-1 therapies, including “Ozempic face,” increasing demand for oculoplastic intervention, and the associated risks of diabetic retinopathy progression and NAION.

• Penny McAllum  I  Band Keratopathy: Recognition and Management

Band keratopathy, a common corneal degeneration, presents with distinctive calcium deposits linked to chronic inflammation and systemic conditions. This session covers key clinical signs, slit-lamp findings, and differentiation from other corneal disorders.

• Mark Donaldson  I  Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and the Eye

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with a range of ocular and neuro-ophthalmic conditions. This presentation reviews the underlying mechanisms, clinical evidence, and the importance of recognising OSA as a risk factor in ophthalmic practice.

• Julia Escardo-Paton  I  The Squint Club: Sydney 2026 Highlights

A summary of key learnings from Australia and New Zealand Strabismus Society (ANZSS) meeting held in Sydney in 2026, featuring updates in strabismus management, paediatric ophthalmology, orthoptic practice, and emerging technologies.

• Arvind Gupta  I  Atypical Progression of a Common Condition: Central Serous Retinopathy

Central serous retinopathy is a common retinal condition that frequently resolves without intervention. However, atypical cases can progress to significant and permanent visual impairment due to retinal pigment epithelial atrophy, chronic subretinal fluid, or secondary choroidal neovascularisation.
