Evidence 2012

To commemorate the Silver Jubilee celebrations of L V Prasad Eye Institute, a landmark symposium “EVIDENCE 2012” was conducted that brought in stellar faculty in ophthalmology from all around the world. The meeting was attended by over 900 delegates and showcased cutting-edge evidence-based medicine, with topics ranging from age related macular degeneration to ocular surface disorders. The 4-day symposium (May 31 – June 3, 2012) included the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Institute on June 1, 2012.

The event, conducted at the Hyderabad International Convention Center, comprised high-quality Focus Group Meetings with discussions on topics such as endophthalmitis and the role of technology in ophthalmology. Faculty courses were delivered by the masters in their field — Prof Harminder Dua, Prof Eli Peli, Prof Richard Collin, Prof Steven Feldon, Prof Jayakrishna Ambati, Dr P Namperumalsamy, Dr Martine J Jager, Prof Narsing A Rao, Prof Earl L Smith III, Dr Carol L Shields, Dr Bruce E Spivey, Dr Sriram Sonty and many more. The leaders shared their years of experience in their chosen field.

Footloose on the dance floor was a big hit, where the faculty and staff danced the night away to performances by the rock band Peace Frog and some from our fellows and residents. The Open Ophthalmology Quiz was won by Dr PM Fairooz; she bagged an iPad.
