Dr Smita Agarwal and the team at Wollongong Eye Specialists recently hosted an engaging wet-lab session for local optometrists, offering hands-on experience and deeper insights into cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) insertion. The event provided a valuable opportunity for optometrists to enhance their clinical understanding and surgical knowledge in a supportive, interactive environment. A special thank you to Alcon for their generous support and collaboration in helping to run this successful event. We also extend our sincere thanks to all the optometrists who participated and made the session both productive and rewarding.
