The EyePATH – Recent advances in ophthalmic pathology held on 25th October 2025, featured excellent participation with 132 delegates. We had three international and fourteen national speakers who delivered talks covering the entire spectrum of ophthalmic pathology. It was academically enriching program for fellows and pathology residents who had registered from different parts of the country.
The program focused on educating surgical pathologists who have minimal to nil exposure to ophthalmic pathology in their routine practice. The topics included basic anatomy, grossing techniques to the present molecular advances in each of the segments of eye. Delegates also benefited from rare and atypical case presentations which highlighted the practical nuances in pathological diagnosis.
Four Keynote lectures were delivered during the meeting:
- Dr. Anita Chan (Singapore National Eye Center and Singapore Eye Research Institute, Singapore) – Molecular-based approach to ophthalmic pathology
- Prof. Deepak Edward (University of Illinois, Chicago, USA and King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) – Brilliant keynote on eye anatomy and histology, and a high-level molecular update that enhanced scientific depth.
- Dr. Martina Herwig-Carl (University Eye Hospital, Bonn, Germany)– Comprehensive clinicopathological talk on conjunctival lesions and melanoma.
- Dr. Dipankar Das (Sri Sankaradeva Nethralaya, Guwahati, India) – Innovative talk on evolving imaging and diagnostic techniques in ophthalmic pathology.
