    Invitation

    TWO-DAY CONGRESS 13 and 14 February

    The Southern African Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (SASCRS) proudly announced that the 21st biennial international congress will be held at the Sandton Convention Centre, Sandton Johannesburg.

    In addition to the Ophthalmology programme there will also be a two-day congress for nurses, theatre personnel, and assistants / managers.

    It is our opinion that any nursing staff, managers or assistants involved in ophthalmology will greatly benefit from attending the conference.

    Nurses, theatre personnel, assistants, practice managers, and other ophthalmic practice personnel are cordially invited to attend the Two-Day Congress focusing on Ophthalmic Nurses and Assistants.

    Attendees registered for the Two-day Congress may also attend the main programme and vice versa.

    An organised trade exhibition will provide the opportunity to become better acquainted with the Ophthalmic Trade and learn about the latest technology and research results.

    For any enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us:
