The WSPOS Sub-specialty day was held on Friday, 9th of September, 2016 at Bella Center, Copenhagen, Denmark. It preceded the XXXIV Congress of the European Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) from 10th – 14th September, 2016. It was coordinated jointly by Drs. Bremond-Gignac, Yair Morad, Lotte Wielander and Nikolas Ziakas.
Current management of pediatric cataract including visual outcomes of secondary cataract implantation in children was discussed in addition to complications observed and protocols set up subsequently as a result to monitor them in the Paediatric Cataract session.
Perspectives of strabismus care in West Africa, Endophthalmitis following squint surgery in the Strabismus session, were a few of the many topics discussed by eminent paediatric ophthalmologists and strabismologists from all over the world.
A large project called the EU screening was introduced. The vision screening protocol followed in Nigeria and West Africa was also discussed. Regular ROP screening was encouraged both in Nigeria and other developing countries where there is improving healthcare. Experiences in Sweden and Denmark were shared. Interesting videos on treatment of nystagmus and other accidents that can happen during surgical procedures were highlighted.
