It’s free and open to members of the public and advocacy groups. And yes I know, just the thought of an overly air conditioned, brightly lit conference centre would put most of us off, but please, any Sydneysiders brave enough to don your goggles and turn up will hopefully benefit from attending. On the final afternoon of the conference the coordinator, Prof Willcox, has set aside two hours for us. In his words ‘At present, this is perhaps the less developed area of the conference, but one I hope will succeed in putting people with dry-eye in contact with researchers, optometrists and manufacturers of products so that they can understand newer treatment options etc.’.
My husband ‘neilw’ and I, (and hopefully ‘hankm9’), will be travelling from Melbourne and would love to meet you.
